One of my favorite quotes, by Theodore Roosevelt:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt in 1910 at the Sorbonne in Paris

Household cleaning and the environment

It should be a no brainer by now, but it isn't. Using commercially produced cleaners in your home is harmful. Most of those cleaners are harmful poisons, that are not necessary. All you really need to clean your home is vinegar. It does just as good a job, and cost a fraction of what commercial cleaners do. So why are people not catching on? Are we really that easily manipulated by these companies? Well, lets see... we buy what they want, we vote for the candidates they want, and we protect them with laws that they want. I guess the answer is "Hell Yes!"


Does this matter?
