Thinking about the preservation of important information relating to our generation of the human race has got me wondering about what is considered to be important. When i was first thinking about it texts like the Magna Carta or our system of law are what come to mind. However maybe what we should be preserving is something as simple as Soap...yep soap has played an important part in shaping our civilization. It was Sigmund Freud who said that "Soap is the yardstick of civilisation"
