The Earth is Flat

One of my heroes died in 2001, but I didn’t know about it till recently. Charles K. Johnson was the leader for the Flat Earth Society in America. The movement actually began in England as the Universal Zetetic Society, before “jumping the pond” a few decades ago and having Johnson pick up the mantle. Johnson honestly, seriously believed the earth was flat. He also believed that Moses, Columbus, and George Washington were Flat Earthers, as well. Zetetics teach that the world is flat as a phonograph record, and the north pole is at the center. The internet has a lot of stuff about Flat Earthers, but most of them are just there to make fun of the idea. Johnson believed it. He was a loon, but I give him credit – not too many folks will stand when everyone thinks you are wrong. Here’s to you, CKJ!
