The borders between the then Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona territories were first surveyed in 1868.
Colorado was admitted to the Union in 1876. Utah in 1896. New Mexico and Arizona in 1912.
And today in 2009, the National Geodetic Survey, part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration under the US Department of Commerce has determined that:
The Four Corners Monument is in the wrong place by two and a half miles!
Yet, Americans are still looking to the government to run the economy, run health care, run education...
Lord, help us.
"[I]f we fail, then the whole world,…all that we have known and cared for…will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that…men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'”
