It's pointless. Almost no one drinks unfiltered tap water. The entire premise that everyone should ingest fluoride so the children of irresponsible parents might get a bit of it on their teeth is itself stupid. There appears to be no benefit to the public of having fluoridated water. I haven't seen evidence from the anti-fluoride crowd that convinces me of any great harm but as the original purpose of adding it in the first place is crap, it doesn't really matter if the anti-fluoride folks have a point or not because the fluoride itself is pointless.
