What makes you break out your soapbox?
Sometimes on the topic of religion, I can get carried away and not even know it. My husband says "OK, you can put away the soapbox now" to cue me in that I've started ranting about it. My brother purposely tries to prod me into standing on my soapbox with issues like separation of church and state.
What topics get you standing on a soapbox? (Purposefully or not).

This is a great topic, in my opinion. My two main triggers are the war in Viet Nam and marijuana. The two are tied together in time, and by one evil, vindictive man. I managed to escape Viet Nam because of marijuana. I'm reasonably sure I would not have survived since I would have been a 2nd Lt. leading an infantry platoon. Damn. That sentence still makes me a bit woozy. Marijuana, legal now in my state, would have been legal many years ago except for Nixon getting it classified as a schedule one drug, which killed research and gave marijuana a stigma and a legal status it didn't merit.
