Yeah, sometimes it does! But I consider myself a type of conservative "missionary", so the ones with some hope and a bit of reasonableness appear to me as opportunities, possible converts. And there are LOTS out there right now who for the first time have at least a halfway open mind(rembember, we are talking liberals, so that in itself is odds defying).
As to my position on 587, am nowhere close to deciding one way or the other(but don't call me a moderate!). I am leaning towards TWA800 being a missile(ask anyone who works for TWA), and think that David Schippers probably has something on OKC. However, any particular view on 587 was not the point of my post, but rather refusal to consider new info or facts that might force one to reevaluate their armchair speculation.
