I don’t think Christians would be too happy about having Sundays shuffled around arbitrarily. Or Jews and the Sabbath.
And when the Muslims hear about this, they’ll cut these guys’ heads off for suggesting it.
People could use their calendars over and over ...
Close to - VERY CLOSE - the stupidest idea I ever heard...
People actually borrow money and go into debt to pay tuition at a place that pays these yahoos??
Go figure...
This seems a little rushed to me.

Does it end on December 21st of this year?
If it would result in a three week second term for 0bama, I’d support it. Otherwise it’s a waste of energy to even consider.
Sunday, Jan. 1
Sunday, Jan. 2
Sunday, Jan. 3
Sunday, Jan. 4
Sunday, Jan. 5
Sunday, Jan. 6
... Problem solved! Plus no work. (Not that anyone has a job.) Have to go to church every day, though. But at least the calendar issue would be solved for good.
Perhaps they can write their proposal in Esperanto.
This is after all the university whose medical school performed the first sex-change operations.
I couldn’t tell you what day my birthday fell on in the 75 years i have been alive in other words who cares!!
Anyone born on February 29 would have to be executed!
Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Dan 7:26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy [it] unto the end.
Let’s just start with baby steps. First get rid of Daylight Savings Time.
Include a redefinition of the length of a second and we could do away with Leap Years ... with an occasional touch up allowed to reflect unforeseen events such as a significant colision with a large spacial object.
Here is what I would do if I were in charge, and trust me, I should be the one in charge because I have no ego and I have a lot of common sense...
Anyway, here's what I would do with the calendar. I would have 13 months of exactly 28 days each. That is exactly four weeks in each month for a total of 364 days per year. The extra day can be recognized as New Year's Day and should be a holiday for all. It will not fall under any particular month but just be it's own day. On Leap Year, guess what? Every four years we will get a two-day holiday in which to watch extra football and drink even more beer.
This will make for more precise fiscal periods for businesses. Each month with exactly 20 weekdays and 8 weekend days. Nice and neat. They can still post quarterly results for the periods of Jan-Mar; Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep and Oct-Dec. That 13th month will simply be a "vacation" month that I will speak more about later.
Now what that extra month? Here is my idea for that. Put that extra month in the middle of the summer. So you have January, February, March, April, May and June for a total of 168 days. Now is the time to insert that "extra" month. We can call that month "Midsummer" or something like that. This will be a time for people to take vacation and slow down a little bit. Businesses will still need to post profit and losses during this time but it will be considered a neutral fiscal period. The object will be simply to break even. Then the business cycle will begin anew in July and the fiscal year will conclude at end of December.
Damn, that is one good idea and I should be put in charge of implementing this.
What’s your problem??? It’s all over, 12/21/2012 anyway. Enjoy the last 355 days. (LOL).... Happy new year.
Based on the seasons I think we should start years at the vernal equinox. Just my wish and I know it will never happen.
