Small Town Soap Box
Until the middle of the 20th Century, soap was shipped to merchants in sturdy wooden boxes. In those days before radio, television, email, cell phones, pagers and PDAs, the discarded soap boxes were found to be sturdy speaking platforms, popular with those who wished to spread the word about something they felt important for others to hear. Soap box oratory, and getting on one's soap box, became metaphors for impassioned, often hyperbolic speech. We think it was a pretty good idea, so this is our version of the old fashioned soap box, 21st Century style.
