It began with the creation of the first calendar. Someone realized that time was important, and that it could be measured. At first it was the province of shamans and wise women. Then bureaucrats became aware of the phenomenon, and since then, no one knows WHAT time it is!
Julius Caesar realized the calendar was slipping out of phase with the seasons, and decreed the year would be one day longer every fourth year. But did people notice the extra day in their own lives? No!
Pope Gregory XIII enacted the Gregorian Calendar, so that October 4, 1582 was followed immediately by October 15, 1582. Catholic Europe lost 10 days from one year at the stroke of a pen!
The railroads brought faster travel, and towns which previously set their clocks by the sun conformed to standard time zones by the end of the 19th century. Some towns lost time, others gained it, but who profited? The railroads! Sandford Fleming is usually blamed for this, but a deeper conspiracy was evident.
Today, the length of the year is being adjusted by one second at a time, in the name of rotational accuracy, but do you find you have more time? No! There is only one conclusion that can be reached!
The seconds, minutes, hours, days, even years of our lives are being stolen in a massive conspiracy to enslave us to the hourglass. Join with me in the League for Chronic Emancipation!
Because…
(wait for it)
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH FREE TIME!
Remember, if you want to be part of the solution, you’re part of the problem!
