David is earnestly arguing what he apparently believes to be the truth.
Having little
encouragement is the fate of most prophets, so I doubt he's surprised.
Has rational
thinking NOT prevailed on the internet? How shall that be judged, even on
CoV list?

Must it? How can you define the "middle" of a daily-expanding meme-space?
What if we
haven't hit anywhere near the truth here, or even in our dreams?
Somewhere else someone encouraged me to stop asking silly questions.
There are no silly questions,
but I've heard some humdinger ANSWERS lately!
