About Diatribal Soapbox [say something!]

You've got something on your mind... Something that you're sure you have a good answer to but it does not leave your mind. Conviction is with you as well as emotion and logic... and yet the issue remains and the thought still burns brightly.

Welcome. Get up on the Soapbox. Shout out your Diatribe. Here's the mic - take it and say your peace. Keep it clean. Keep it respectful. Invite and elicit discussion. Each photo you post should have a lot to say or relate directly to what you have to say. And each photo should have your words, thoughts, even chicken-scratch ideas written out for all to read in your description. Do not post just an image here. Say something. And, you should be prepared to listen a lot to the thoughts it invokes in others. Put it out there. Let it roll.

Let us think of this little virtual space as a multi-minded, multi-voiced blog-spot of truth and consequence. The Soapbox is yours.
