Since I'm posting a link to this website claiming the Earth is flat I'm pretty sure some SI posters will think I'm a member of the Society, which I'm not yet, but I might consider it. They make more sense than some of you nuts here!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Flat Earth Society is a nonpartisan, non-profit and nondenominational membership organisation dedicated to improving the understanding of the nature of reality through pataphysical inquiry, empirical investigation and the exchange of ideas.

While the Society is not a "crackpot" group, it is opposed to the fashionable, politically correct Spherical Earth theory, which is expounded every day by so-called "scientists", the media and political leaders. The Society asserts that the Earth is flat and has five sides, that all places in the Universe named Springfield are merely links in higher-dimensional space to one place, and that all assertions are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true false and meaningless in some sense.

The Society was founded in 1993 by Lee H∴ O∴ Smith, EMF KYTP. The bulk of the Society has a trilateral structure, with operations concentrated in North America, the British Isles and Australasia. The Society's operations are overseen by appointed Established Major Figures, with a contact group of three EMFs (one from each sphere of influence) concerned with day-to-day administration. Additionally, some global administrative tasks are performed by the Chairperson Dei Gratia.J

Members of the Society come from all walks of life, and are typically nominated for merit by current Established Major Figures. Members of the Society are active in many areas of culture, science and public life.

I like the way these guys think. Sign me up. ;)
 
I decided to take a little trip through their FAQ and I just had to share this brilliant piece of dogma.

20. Does Idaho exist
No. The existence of Idaho is a lie, fabricated by a conspiracy of cartographers, as is England (see question 10).

Now it all makes sense!

I wonder what country I walked in during the early 80's? It seems that they all called it England... But who's to say... ;)
I think any one can justify any thing they want in their own mind and others will believe as long as the right words are stated to those individuals... :)
Gullible is a word that comes to mind :)
