"Desire is never politically correct"
-Cherríe L. Moraga

"I once knew a truck driver, a guy who drove eighteen-wheelers. He said the most dangerous and toxic loads he transported were the chemicals used to make dishwashing and other detergents. He told me tales of when these trucks crash — which of course they do occasionally. He told me of the the poisoning of the nearby creeks and the liquid all over the road. He also said, “You better get out of there quick if you are in the cab. If that stuff gets on your skin, it can corrode it away. Lots of guys have died from getting those chemicals on their skin.

Now think again of the aisles in the supermarket, and all the detergent we have all used. We’ve been convinced we need this stuff to stay healthy and to be “clean.”

But, as Nakamura has shown me, we don’t need at all. But this is just one example of something we’ve been told that we need."
