Soap Scum begs the question...
mood: inquisitive Why does soap have scum?I know this is not the best way to kick off a philosophical discussion, but, what the heck? It is Friday. Seriously, think about it. Why does soap have scum? I guess the real question here is: How did we, as a civilized society, become convinced that it is absolutely necessary (to be civilized) to bathe ourselves ritually with a substance whose ingredients separately will burn a hole in anything that is not a cast iron cauldron, ingredients from the fats of animals (I know you have seen Fight Club), and when combined, ingredients that leave SCUM - the very thing we are washing off?
