| Iraqi TV Debate: Is the Earth Flat? |
 |
A debate between an Iraqi "Researcher on
Astronomy" and a physicist on Iraqi television.
Apparently, this is an important question in the
Islamic world...
-From the transcript-
Interviewer: Lunar and solar eclipses, sunset and
sunrise, and the changing of seasons -- how would
you explain all these phenomena, if the Earth is
not round, as you claim?
Fadhel Al-Sa'd: The sun circles the Earth because
it is smaller than the Earth, as is evident in
Koranic verses.
Have you ever seen how the sun moves? I have seen
the sun moving. The sun makes one move every 24
hours.
What I say is based on Koranic science. He bases
his arguments on the kind of science that I reject
categorically -- the modern science that they
teach in schools. This science is a heretic
innovation that has no confirmation in the Koran.
No verse in the Koran indicates that the Earth is
round or that it rotates. Anything that has no
indication in the Koran is false.

| The Global Flat Tax Revolution |
 |
This mini-documentary from the Center for Freedom
and Prosperity discusses the global flat tax
revolution. There are now 24 flat tax
jurisdictions (actually 25, but we didn't know
about Trinidad & Tobago when the video was
filmed), a remarkable development given the
ideological opposition to tax reform from special
interest groups and class warfare advocates. The
six-minute video explains the key features of the
flat tax revolution and highlights the reforms in
Hong Kong, Estonia, and Iceland. The flat tax
revolution has been especially strong in former
Soviet-bloc nations, a rather ironic development
since a so-called progressive income tax was a key
tenet of Marx's Communist Manifesto.
