English

Answer:

I've re-typed it and correcting run-on sentences, spelling errors, and deleted some words that didn't add anything but ust sounded messy.

Explanation:

Have you ever wondered what's in your water?  For many people in cities and towns across America, the water is fluoridated.  Fluoridation is the process in which fluoride is added to the water supplies.  Fluoride makes teeth stronger, much less likely to develop cavities, and less likely to excess plaque buildup.  Fluorides are compounds that contain the mineral, fluorite, which is found in the earth.  Almost all water naturally contains some level of fluoride, however, some areas have naturally higher levels of fluoride in their water.Scientists in the 1920's found that people who drank water with more fluoride had fewer cavities.

Today, more than half of the tap water used in the United States is fluoridated.  The decision to fluoridate is left up to individual cities.  When communities decide whether or not to fluoridate the water supply, it can become controversial because some people claim there is a link between fluoride and health problems.  Still, others argue there is not enough evidence to support this claim.

What role does conscience play in brutus decision?
Fantom [35]
Brutus relies heavily on his own conscience and will not agree to do anything unless he completely believes in the cause. This is why it takes so long for Cassius to convince him to kill Caesar. Eventually though, he believes that their cause is right and therefore goes into the murder with a clear conscience. 

He also keeps the other men (especially Cassius) in check while planning the murder, because his conscience is so strong. He says "Let us be sacrificers, but not butchers, Caius." He is making sure they stay on track and are doing things for noble reasons, not just blindly killing. 

This is why he refuses to let Cassius plan to kill Antony as well as Caesar, because he does not feel Antony has done anything wrong.
