If it's toxic, bad for you and bad for the planet, some very powerful people are behind it. And most likely it's either legal or used by govs anyway.

I blame fracking, personally.
As someone who watched the Science Channel once, I know what I am talking about and I think the government needs to step in and save us.
Yes, they do regulate our drinking water already. But when are they going to step in and start regulating and testing for naturally occurring Dihydrogen monoxide?
We need warning labels, perhaps even federal control in who can purchase DHMO.
Maybe the terrorists like ISIS, Al Quaeda, Justin Beiber are already stock-piling this.
I need someone to save me!
Please, please think of the children.
If enough people are supportive, I may get a petition started at White House dot gov.
Thank you for your support.
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol. For more detailed information, including precautions, disposal procedures and storage requirements, refer to one of the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available for DHMO:
Should I be concerned about Dihydrogen Monoxide?
Yes, you should be concerned about DHMO! Although the U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

I certainly hope you are licensed to own a container.
We do need federals regulations on the types of storage containers that this is held in!
