To describe the U.N. as occultist is a slam to occultists everywhere.

I've thought there should be a 13 month calendar ever since grade school when I realized it was a much better and more uniform system. You could have 13 completely uniform lunar months with 1 extra day in the year. Perfect.

"By rational discourse and common sense, it has been determined that the Gregorian Calendar does not represent a true or accurate standard of measure or belong to any systematic science of time, and hence, is worthy of reform,"

Sorry UN but by the fact that this calendar has now been used for nearly 500 YEARS, it is ACCURATE. There is no need to link it to some cycle of nature or science. It has worked for nearly 5 centuries, it is still working, and will continue to work for at least a few more centuries, don't ya think?

Why not tell us the REAL reason, UN???? Would it be that you are anti-Christian????

That "Earth Charter" thing sounded interesting, so here's some info from their website http://earthcharterusa.org/ecinaction.html:

Perhaps they will call it "Star Date blah blah" after the concept that Maoist moron Gene Rodenberry came up with on Star Trek to eliminate one more speck of Christianity from their Marxist Utopia.

I'm in favor of calendar reform.

It's my prime example of how STUPID we are.

Example: An Octopus has eight tentacles.
. . . . . An Octagon has eight sides or angles.

. . . . . And October is the tenth month.

Same thing for September, October, November, and December (Decimal System -- Twelfth Month!!!). All the months which refer to numbers refer to the wrong numbers ... and it's been that way for two thousand years!

We're the premier species on this planet, right? Well, it's a very small planet!!!



P.S. 2006 would be a good year to institute calendar reform. It starts on a Sunday.

First, they got it wrong - the calander should be based on the metric system, somehow.

Second, I wonder what the names of these new months will be? Can only guess that one of them will be Annan-uary.

Thrid, just another step towards one world government - wonder who would set the holidays? Wonder what they would be?

Thirteen Moon Natural Time Peace Calendar could replace the Gregorian Calendar, courtesy of future UN resolution.

Sorry, but 13 just doesn't cut it in metric terms.
