Natural Time (actual time)

--------------------------------------------------
Choosing between natural time and false time as 
the permanent clock system has nothing whatsoever 
to do with the balance between morning and evening 
lightness or darkness.

Nor does it have anything to do with people's 
health.  Zero.  Supporters of actual time who 
say it does are actually as idiotic as those 
who support false time.

Public and private entities will set their hours 
of operation as they see fit, which is all that's 
needed to create any particular balance between 
morning and evening lightness or darkness.

In fact, public and private entities regularly fiddle 
with their hours of operation, regardless of whether 
or not false time is in effect.  If you change the 
clocks, nothing prevents them from changing their 
hours of operation, nullifying your change. 
--------------------------------------------------

The time of day is not a social convention, and there 
is nothing arbitrary about how the 24 hour clock was 
established.

The time of day is a scientific fact for the very 
reason that the earth's rotation relative to the sun 
is a scientific fact.

It's one thing to have never stopped and given it any
thought.  But of those delusionals who think they can
actually defend false time -- or who say it doesn't
matter, I ask:

Did you never make it all the way to kindergarten?

The 24 hour clock is based on the position of the sun.

The earth does rotate on its axis, afterall. 

That is why high noon is 12 o'clock.  And it is why 
midday is 12 o'clock.  The sun is precisely midway 
between sunrise and sunset, time-wise and 
arc-length-wise, when at its highest position, 
every day of the year, everywhere on Earth.   

And it is why natural time is the only rational 
target within the constraints of geo-political 
boundaries.  Such boundaries might introduce some 
error, as will the width of a time zone.

Adding error to any such error cannot be justified.

Voting does not change facts.  The time of day is 
what it is.  It is not a matter of opinion, any more 
so than what the sum of two plus two is.

It is sacrilegious and idiotic to call high noon 1:00,
or to call any other hour of the day anything other
than what it is.  Change the hours of operation, not 
the clock.

My clocks show the correct time and I communicate the 
time accordingly.

------------------------------------------------------

I can see the elementary school children being told 
by their teachers that there are 24 hours in a day 
and that midday is 1:00.  All the children will know 
that 24 divided by 2 equals 12, and they will all 
think that adults must be severely mentally retarded.
