Yepp, people like her are why our government is so messed up. People like her are why there should be term limits.

Its the same for all government officials. The ruling class are rarely subjected to the laws they create for the rest of us.

There's really only 3 possible explanations for the Flat Earth society. I'll list them in order of my opinion of likelihood.

1.These guys are master trolls. They've maintained the gag for a fairly long time with very little wavering. A lot of even this website is proof that people just LOVE to get a rise from people on the internet, and few things tend to get people worked up like flat earth talk.

2. A lot of the stuff they talk about rely heavily on forming opinions based on one's own personal observations which ins't an ENTIRELY crazy position. Why shouldn't I believe something if I've never experienced it personally? It makes sense metaphysically. The ridiculousness of the claim just helps make the point. I mean, really think about it, how many of us have actual first hand unequivocal experience that the world is round? Admittedly, most rational people can acknowledge that a mass of third party evidence IS acceptable to take a stand on something.

3. These guys are just bat poop crazy.

The 2 I have run across lack the skill of critical thinking. They are unable to understand anything outside of the most simplistic ways of thinking. For that reason they cannot have a conversation and for that reason they cannot learn. No one will ever be able to answer their question, and you will hurt yourself......and most likely them.....trying.

I see the flat earth thread is now republicans vs democrats. Seriously guys, not everything needs to be political.
