Well, I went through exactly the same motions and horror recoils, 
then decided to use what I had been told to use in the first place.

So I went to the local trusty supermarket, and for a song, I bought 
myself a 500g box of Benson's Corn Starch, which seems like a 
lifetime supply.

Still, I prefer to use K-Y on my neoprene wrist seals, though.

American hegemony, being economic, is steered from Wall Street rather than 
  from the Pentagon. However, the Pentagon has the immense advantage of 
 having the legitimacy of being a national institution acting in the name 
  of the american nation, rather than in the name of a few stockholders.
