Whether "Truth" can be plural or not, I believe it is frequently not where we look for it. Rather, it seems to often be just beyond our periphery.
Nonetheless, it moves.
Feel free to move this to the Dungeon, mods.

Yes, it should go to the Dungeon as it is as important a subject as any we post and reveals the deeper levels of action, reaction and critical thinking.
Thanks for your post.

Ever tried one of those electronic mosquito repellents? Put one in your pocket and go fishing in Alaska sometime.
