When to question the Prophet?

The fact that it's unlikely isn't the point. I think it is about as likely to happen as BYU switching to the option, or the Utes winning the Super Bowl. Besides, I'd be careful in saying what will never happen-- Bruce R. McKonkie seemed to think some things wouldn't happen before the millenium and had an awful big egg on his face when he turned out to be wrong.

Never is a long time and hyperbolic, but if you're reading this, then you're smart enough to know it's emphatically unlikely.

Nothing, outside of the SWK announcement, dramatic has happened in my lifetime in terms of major shifts, and if you read behind the scenes that was the long drawn out affair, behind the scenes.

I refuse to speculate how I'd react about a highly speculative matter. All thirteen million moving to Jackson County? Would they even fit there?

Call me crazy, but isn't that speculation right there?

Asking a question is different than the speculative nature of answerig it.
