    Many people in the modern world believe that the prevailing theory of the cosmos in Columbus time was that the Earth was flat -- i.e. there's a widespread myth that educated people thought the Earth was flat. This isn't true. The Greeks knew the Earth was round, and that knowledge survived the Dark Ages and was well known in 1492.

    Many people think that the First Amendment right of free speech means they can say anything to anyone without any type of retribution. They don't understand the Constitutional protection is against retribution from the government only.

    Many people think that common law marriage is automatic after a certain number of years living together. That's incorrect. It's only recognized in some states and the key is "intent to be married."

    Goldfish do not, in fact, have a three second memory, but a three second attention span, which is how long it takes them to get bored with something, I know people like that!

    Humans evolved from chimpanzees.
    According to Modern Evolutionary Synthesis (MES), humans and chimps evolved from one common ancestor which had both human and chimp-like characteristics primitive enough to be a TRUE common ancestor.

    The belief among many Americans that the government creates anything of value. The only thing government can do is take money from those who have it, and give it to those who don't. The end result will be a flight of production and money from the US to other countries, and the relegation of America to the status of a third-world country.

    Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot

    RELIGION:

    11. Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.
