the soapbox

Welcome to Bens Soapbox. From this platform I will share my (at times) not so humble opinion and try to relate information that I have come across that I feel should be shared about a host of topics. I will share information and links that I encourage you to explore. Always looking for new information sources and differing opinions feel free to comment. TITLES WITH DOTS NEXT TO THEM ARE LINKS
