I meant who cares enough to change it, but you probably knew that.

democracy isnt that great...its just better than the others.

^^^To paraphrase Churchill.

Whoops, a little late; disregard.

When begin to look back on the 90's/2000-201o, I think we will see it as the worst era for (popular) music. Too much shitty music containing shittier lyrics.

The mayans had it right when they based the calendar on astronomy. No event should be the basis of the beginning of the new age aside from astronomical revolutions. What if we just decided the new year would start everytime we put a celebrity on trial?

June 18, 2003 would be a really good time to begin the calander.

Let's change 1 minute to 100 seconds, an hour to 100 minutes, and a day to 10 hours while we're at it.

Actually, we could kill leap years by adding a month to our calendar.

Rather than decimalizing everything we should use a base-12 number system. 12 has many more factors than 10 which would make basic math alot easier.

Since our calendar is based on astronomical cycles in the first place we could maybe move the starting date back to the maximum or minimum of some astronomical cycle like one of the Milankovitch cycles.

Democracy sucks; but then, so does any system in a world so insolubly overpopulated.
