Over the last few hundred years, China has given us Zen, chess, cheap telephones and VCRs, and opium. China was "enlightened" long before this nation came into being. And capitalism? If they do not understand capitalism why is it almost everything electronic in our homes and offices says "Made in China" on it? China enjoys "Most Favored Nation" trading status with our country. If that's not capitalism at work, then the sky is green and the grass is purple! They reap the benefits of our fatalistic and wrong beliefs.

Let me explain. If the Earth were a sphere, then by very definition, all points on the surface would be equal distance from the center. There is no beginning and no end. No point of origin superior to any other. This, obviously, is not the case. Look at our trade relationship with China, and Japan for that matter. You can bet that both of those countries believe that their "point of origin" is far superior to ours. Why else would we allow them to export the greatest percentage of their goods to us, for American currency, and impose such strict tariffs on American made goods that we cannot effectively compete in their markets?

Yes, yes, I see you The gentleman in the back, frantically waving your arms and hopping from foot to foot, trying to get my attention.

"What about Columbus?", you were going to ask. "He proved the Earth is round!"

No he didn't. He sailed from point A to point B in a relatively straight line. Let me ask you this. Are you really willing to place your trust in a flat-broke, penniless adventurer who got lost on the biggest voyage of his life? The conspirators have distorted the reason and significance of his discovery of the new world. His purpose for taking the trip in the first place was to substantially increase the coffers of his sponsor. Again, the importance of a particular place of origin.

"The Earth is round" is nothing more than a tool to keep us in line and to keep us from asking too many questions too loudly. Questions like, "Where is Area 51?" Or, "How come my taxes are so damn high?" You know, I'd be willing to bet that if we weren't so concerned with the Earth being a sphere, we would already have an answer to the question of whether or not Dick Cheney and Osama Bin Laden are the same person (1-You never see the two of them together and 2-Cheney tends to frequent a secure undisclosed location; Bin Laden also tends to frequent a secure, undisclosed location... hmmm... but, I digress).

The round Earth conspiracy is dangerous
