"THE SOAPBOX" is a planned addition to the "Forums" section, to be comprised of submitted essays. The topics are entirely up to the individuals who submit (basically, anything you really want to get off your chest). However, we will ask that arguments be presented at least roughly in a traditional essay format (i.e. Thesis Statement, Introductory Paragraph, Sub-topical Paragraphs, Conclusion, etc.). THE CLOUD CHAMBER will act as editor (weeding out blatant mis-spellings, awkward grammar, etc.). This feature will initialize - well, basically as soon as we have something to put up on it. Note: selections will be chosen on the basis of topicality, content quality, and effectiveness of argument. Don't let this dissuade you, though. We're actually pretty easy to please J
