Why not? Collectivists have re-defined everything else, the whole earth might as well go up-is-down too.

Am I the only one who ever wondered who assigned the original up and down to the orientation of earth? Was it arbitrary?

Could all our maps be just as useful if north and South were reversed? And our solar system planets revolved around the sun counterclockwise?
Does the Universe have a "North and a South?"
Does our Solar System?
Does our galaxy's up and down, north and south, align with every other galaxy we know of?

Are we picking nits about a purely arbitrary historical decision?

I've got to get back to doing something seriously important, now; Like sorting my socks.
