So Donna and I were talking about going to Blockbuster or going on line to NetFlix and stream a movie. I opted for the stream since I had the laptop.

Browsing through the titles, memories sprang as I saw the title “Dr. Bronners Magic Soapbox.”

I used to use it all the time!
 
I remember reading the label, laughing, thinking it was neat and a bit crazy, and wondering who wrote that?

Being curious I added the movie to my stream list, thinking someday, I’ll have a chance to watch this.

Little did I realize it would be that same night as everyone conked out early, and it was just me and the remote control.

Until watching the moving, I didn’t realize there really was a Dr. Bronner rather than a mythical figure, the struggle, the family story, the message of world unity, and the purpose of the soap.

Nor how socially conscious and active the company is.

The story of Dr. Bronners Soap should be celebrated and taught just as Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, Well Spring Grocery,  or Newman’s Own is.

How do you get over 30,000 words on the bottle label that were his life’s work of searching every religion for “Full Truths?”

The abbreviated version is:

1. CONSTRUCTIVE CAPITALISM IS WHERE YOU SHARE THE PROFIT WITH
THE WORKERS AND THE EARTH FROM WHICH YOU MADE IT!

2. WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND WE SHOULD TAKE
CARE OF EACH OTHER AND SPACESHIP EARTH!
 
If you remember the soap, use it now, like eccentricity, and social causes done well, you’ll like this movie.

Let me know what you think.

PS- I’m going out to the store now to pick up a bottle of Dr. Bronners peppermint soap.
