Just don't start a thread on all three combined....there's a Springer Show Raht Thar I say!!!
Ray, actually I aggreed with what you said, I just wanted to point out that society needs "free thinkers" or people who, I actually hate the term...."think outside the box" because it presents alternative views, or new ideas, hence my reference to the acceptance, eventually, of the world being flat.
I'm sure saying something like "the world is NOT flat and it is NOT the centre of the Universe" during the middle ages more than 1500 yrs after Eratosthenes and other mathematicians had proven so, would have gotten you in some deep doo-doo because the extremists of that time refused to listen. Like people with extreme viewpoints in any century, the extremists were doin' the talkin' when they shoulda been doin' the listenin'. Perhaps, it was just to maintain power over the people....what's the saying?....like mushrooms?....kept in the dark and fed sh*t.
