Recent evidence suggests otherwise


The "State" Of Idaho: The Case For Open Debate

If you would ask any schoolchild how many states there are in the United States, you will get the same answer: 50. Fifty states in the Union. It is simply an accepted "fact." If you would disagree with this supposed "fact," you would be branded insane or worse.

However, mounting evidence shows that there are in fact only 49 states in the US, and the "state" of Idaho is a baseless myth.

We have been trying to distribute and publish this information for over *two years*, but our scholarship has not been given any respect. We have been censored, vilified, ridiculed and spat upon by the "traditional" geographers and historians, but WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

All we ask is that the existence of the state of Idaho be debated, as every other historical and geographic "fact" can be debated. Time after time, our opponents have refused to debate us on the FACTS. This alone should tell you something about the people who support the "existence" of this "43rd state."

Please read the following evidence VERY CAREFULLY, and you will be astonished at the veracity of our cause.


Come to think of it, I've never met anyone from Idaho

Hmm... you make a good point. Being from the mid-west I can contest, no one we have ever sent to Idaho has ever returned.

One of the best pizzas I've had was in a little place in Sandpoint, Idaho. Plus the skiing in Schweitzer Basin is fantastic.

Hmmm I reckon you have some evidence to support the existence of Idaho? ...

I have a travel brochure for Sandpoint I picked up this summer, but it could be a fake!

Some of the nicest biking I've ever done was in Idaho. Not too many places where you can get charged by an angry moose while on a bike.
Maybe it was a dream.

Wasn't at Zany's was it?

But yes, Idaho does exist and is home to many great pizza shoppes.

I've heard all scenes of Idaho were filmed next to the soundstage used for the "lunar landings"

Well that's true, the rest is a damned lie.

I admit I don't know anyone that's from Idaho. Or Tibet.

My Aunt's husband is from Idaho. Or so he claims. I wish Idaho didn't exist. But sadly, I think it does.

what did Idaho ever do to anyone? My sister in law is from there. In fact, she's from the town where they made Napolean Dynamite. She says its pretty much like that.

Boise was great, cool town with great people, and yeah, some damned fine pizzerias.

I think I drove thru Idaho once, just a corner. It could have been a mirage brought on by 10 hours of driving though.

It sounds like a 12 year old decided to write an article, because he ate to much candy that night.
