If I posted that the Earth revolves around the
Sun, I expect a flaming from a certain segment.

And you would deserve the reaming. There is no more basis for saying that the earth revolves around the sun than there is to say that the sun rises in the East. Both are obervations from relative relationships; it just depends on where you're looking from. Are you sitting still? Or are you moving through space at thousands of miles an hour? Depends entirely on your perspective!

So saying that the earth revolves around the sun is one way of looking at it, but not at all the only way. so you deserve to get reamed out.

But I agree otherwise with your post.

Any word yet on whether Gesser can play vs. UCLA?
