Eight Reasons Why Capitalists Want to Sell You Deodorant:

1. Body smells are erotic and sexual. Capitalists don't like that because they are impotent and opposed to all manifestations of sensuality and sexuality. Sexually awakened people are potentially dangerous to capitalists and their rigid, asexual system.

2. Body smells remind us that we are animals. Capitalists don't want us to be reminded of that. Animals are dirty. They eat things off the ground, not out of plastic wrappers. They are openly sexual. They don't wear suits or ties, and they don't get their hair done. They don't show up to work on time.

3. Body smells are unique. Everyone has her own body smell. Capitalists don't like individuality. There are millions of body smells but only a few deodorant smells. Capitalists like that.

4. Some deodorants are harmful. Capitalists like that because they are always looking for new illnesses to cure. Capitalists love to invent new medicines. Medicines make money for them and win them prizes; they also cause new illnesses so capitalists can invent even more new medicines.

5. Deodorants cost you money. Capitalists are especially pleased about that.

6. Deodorants hide the damage that capitalist products cause your body. Eating meat and other chemical-filled foods sold by capitalists makes you smell bad. Wearing pantyhose makes you smell bad. Capitalists don't want you to stop wearing pantyhose or eating meat.

7. Deodorant-users are insecure. Capitalists like insecure people. Insecure people don't start trouble. Insecure people also buy room fresheners, hair conditioners, makeup, and magazines with articles about dieting.

8. Deodorants are unnecessary. Capitalists are very proud of that and they win marketing awards for it.

sorry... you haven't been around some of the same people that I've been around... it might just change your mind...
Granted, the choices that we're presented with are probably NOT natural and NOT healthy to say the least, but please...
It was different when most of us worked out-of-doors, but that is not the case anymore. In a crowded call center, a little deodorant is just a nioce thing to do for the folks in the next cubicle. :-)

I must say, I have to agree with you Big Dog. Summers in Texas would be unbearable without deodorant.
Hooray for alternatives that make you not stinky that are good for you! (or at least aren't harmful)

I have always really like the Burt's Bees Herbal Deodorant (http://www.burtsbees...ategory=yes). Pol, if you send me some Globo Aerostatico en Papel that I can light on fire and set aloft, I will send you some of our exotic American deodorant alternatives! Deal?
