Dr. Bronner

Is he still alive?
They still sell his soaps?

They do still sell his soaps…I know because a school project of mine was disqualified for being too similar to the stuff he’d patented.

As for the man himself, this page says:

…which implies that the good Doctor himself is dead, or at least not in the soapmaking business anymore.

According to the wrapper of my Peppermint & Hemp Oil soap, Doc Bonnor passed in 1997. Too bad, the world needs more loonies in it to make it interesting.

The World Wide Web has made it possible to access the loonies’ messages free of cost. It case you are unaware, it is worth spending some time at www.timecube.com – to read about “NATURE’S HARMONIC SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY TIME CUBE”, and learn that "You are educated stupid and evil by stupid evil educators. Academic ban of Time Cube free speech debate rights is unconstitutinal, undemocratic and unadulterated tyrannical. "

When I first saw that TimeCube page I did think of Dr Bronner’s soaps. . . I spend quite some time standing in the shower puzzling over those manifestoes. … so. . . can someone explain his, ahem, ideology to me? I can’t make any sense of it. Is there a translation key somewhere? Sort of an Old Testament Unitarian Kabbalist kook or what? Did he belong to a particular sect, loosely?

Just gotta put in a link to Cecil’s column on the doctor. Of course, it was written long before Bronner left us, so it doesn’t directly bear on the OP.

Interesting. Dr. Bonner’s son is a schoolteacher.
