Well, we're moving on to the point that Minacou is becoming of broader interest among the various people in my story who've been following Maggie's project. Note, by the way, that Maggie's activities with the dolphin haven't exactly been conducted in secrecy. She's working at a busy motel where dolphin performances are an attraction. So why hasn't there been more publicity about a talking dolphin? That's a good question, the answer to which lies in the widespread skepticism that commonly greets anything unusual or extraordinary by normal standards in our human world. If you happened to witness such a remarkable thing, what might be your first reaction? Wouldn't it be mainly to wonder how it was being faked, what trickery was involved? People are doubting Thomases by nature. You know, there's actually a whole movement out there that "knows" men never really landed on the Moon, that the whole thing was a NASA charade, notwithstanding that the Apollo space program had official government backing. Without some official, authoritative imprimatur, how many of us will actually trust the evidence of our senses over "common wisdom" that something can't really be true and therefore must be some sort of fraud? An aspect of the contemporary human condition to think about.
