| #9 They want to start on a "special" day? How about the day that the Atomic bomb went off over Mecca? Works for me. |

| #2 Given that the months have Roman names -- either emperors (July, August), gods (January, March), or numerical positions (October, November) -- it seems more like a pagan conspiracy to me. And, of course, various lunatic churchmen have tried to change the names of the days of the week. Norse gods and celestial objects, at least in English: Sun's Day, Moon's Day, Tyr's Day, Wodin's Day, Thor's Day, Freya's Day, and Saturn's Day. If they're bitching about the choice of when to start counting years, well, just call it the "Common Era" and get over it. |

| #1 That the calendar is Christian oriented as in the Gregorian Calendar is not because of the Roman Catholic Church or any specific form of christianity, rather it is because Western Civilization exploded across the world in post 1600's to dominate trade, science, communications, technology, and the military. If the Chinese hadn't been so insular, xenophobic, and anti-mercantilist, Admiral Ho probably would have opened the sea routes to Europe before the locals got around to it, eliminating the causal factor for what we have in the world today. Another long rant playing the victimhood game when by the choices of their ancestors, they defaulted into the position they are today. |
