Well, I've been in on many airplanes (sometimes with a window seat(!)) and
the darn thing *looked* flat...

But, say, has anyone ever met a *stupid* person who thought the earth 
was flat? I have not. (I *believe* the earth is round, contrary to the 
undeniable evidence presented to me, because it makes me feel better
to think of the earth as spherical.)

Did you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

By the sarcastic tone of your posting, it seems you think that the CIA
*didn't* perform experiments on unwilling subjects with LSD (how quickly
they forget). I suppose you think they're "on our side".

>They probably did.  That's why you're such a brain-damaged moron now.

Since when does LSD cause brain damage? "Just say 'no', kids, or you'll 
end up a brain-damaged moron who believes the earth is flat!"
