Either the earth is in fact round or the entire scientific community, the world's aviation industry, cartographers, geologists, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum are all in cahoots and up to their ochsters in a conspiracy to mislead the 1/20th of the western world that isn't somehow involved in said conspiracy.

I invoke Occam's Razor.

Kipling wrote an amusing short story called "The Village that voted the Earth was Flat". It involved an early incidence of speed restrictions being abused. I'd love for someone to make a film of it...
