A great allusion to the human anchor to consistency; consistently wrong...or consistently right, we're a stubborn batch of nature. Whether you support he views of Dr. Louis or Jesse Coleman (J.C. to his friends) the message I thought was so perfectly presented, (and I could be wrong about the author's intent - I often am as I'm a selfish narcissist who believes that every author writes just for me) is that we often stay on the wrong road because, hey…we've already put so many miles under our heels; it would be a shame to turn around. "What would my friends think - what would they say? My identity, as I've so meticulously crafted over all these years...it would be...gone. (Gasp!)" I think this is a great and relevant piece, not only in the context of current events, but as an applicable lens through which we can view any era where there are always at least two schools of thought both basing their outlooks, not on truth, but their perception of truth. Aside from all that I enjoy Ms. Carol’s style, wit, and Southern comfort. Always a pleasure. Thanks! Trev Bravo.

Your words flow together gracefully for the most part, but rend a hole when a point needs to be struck. The theme of this story is constucted on several levels, too. Telling about the hidden meanings in Moby Dick almost advertises the need to look beneath the surface of this story. It could be read many times, each time stripping a new layer off and exposing more angles of philosophy to explore. It's a marvelous piece and well worth printing.
