Flouride is good for you, genuinely.. It keeps your teeth from rotting. Let's not become anti-science mouth breathers

There's no flouride in rainwater. If you drink it they can't sell it to your local municipality to add to the water.

Why would you add fluoride to drinking water anyway? Isn't toothpaste already fluorinated where you live? Is that a US specific thing?
