The Soapbox
This section is for the rants and the moral debates.
I'd like to point out straight away that I'm not particularly well informed, but I am rather opinionated. Not that you'd notice of course.
According to Wikipedia , "A soapbox is a raised platform on which one stands to make an impromptu speech, often about a political subject. The term originates from the days when speakers would elevate themselves by standing on a wooden crate originally used for shipment of soap or other dry goods from a manufacturer to a retail store." and "A modern form of the soapbox is a blog: a website on which a user publishes his/her thoughts to whomever they are read by."
So there.
I'd like to thank Jill Rattle, English teacher extraordinaire and erstwhile mentor of my senior school years, for encouraging me in the art of debating (and generally talking a lot). Thanks Jill, wherever you may be but my readers might not agree. And if anyone does know where she is, I'd love to hear from her to thank her personally.
