Excuse me, but how do you know that the earth is round, you've
read all about it in books, and you've been told about it in
Geography, History, Maths, possibly (depending on your age)
University.

Have you ever seen the earth from a great distance,  me thinks
not, we've all been on airoplanes, and seen the horizin, how do
we really know that it isn't flat, but looks curved because we're
so far away from it.  The gouvernment, the Status-Quo want us to
think that the earth is spherical so that they can charge us so
much for "air fairs", imagine if people in the UK knew that
Australia was only fifty milse asay, and that they could get
there on a rowing boat, the gouvernment would lose a lot of money
in taxes.  

So they tell us that if we dig for a thousand years we will reach
china, when it really is just around the corner, have you ever
met a professional pilot, (These people are stoges, and work for
the state, they are all leading us up the garden path), just so
that we will buy expensive items in the airport. 

Think about it.

I don't hate the world, but I don't think much of it either.

Cheers
Steve
