White collar crime then? The McCoy gang? For those who GENUINELY don't know, not for those who are GENUINELY pilling my leg: Law & Order Off to go watch Law and Order. Shucks, back this quickly? (What station is it on?) I get one station, sometimes. Hope it is on that station. Sorta............

Nope! I stick to speculative fiction (SF) or fake news. Your education is lacking then ..... I'm just a down-home-educated Missouri boy with an off-the-chart deplorable quotient.

Is the language used to justify the change telling? www.wcvb.com/article/the-map-you-learned-in-school-is-wrong-boston-students-will-be-taught-a-new-one/9161864"These maps offer a more culturally proficient view of the world than the traditional Mercator Projection maps, which distorts North America and Europe by representing a greater land area relative to their South American and African counterparts," BPS wrote in a statement. "The Mercator Projection maps were originally intended for navigation purposes."
