Damn humans! the world is a sphere people! And it is spinning. For crying out loud when will you learn to live with it.

People always want to change the world to fit them, instead of finding a way to live with it in peace.

Well... Let's just keep doing it without thinking because that's the way it's always been done.

They have to tell the farmers AND the plants to set their clocks, and the sun too. :sqlaugh:

Yes, I'd like to see some of the "change" our president keeps touting, that actually correlates with what the American public wants.
And with that, I'm off my soapbox. Well...for now anyway. :sqlaugh:
