SOAPBOX JOHNNY : (Noun) One that stands and preaches on the proverbial soapbox. Figuratively speaking... of course. A Soapbox Johnny doesn't realize that he's on the soapbox until getting a headache or hearing the sound of his own voice drone on and on. A lot of times, someone else will have to kick it out from under a Soapbox Johnny; again, figuratively speaking. ( Authors note: The phrase, "Standing on a soapbox", originates from the days when speakers would elevate themselves by standing on a wooden crate, originally used for shipment of soap or other dry goods from a manufacturer to a retail store. Often used as a liberal platform for politicians or someone preaching politics.)
There is more to life than dwelling on a rotten world. Appreciate and enjoy Mother Earth and embrace what really matters... Don't be a Soapbox Johnny.
