Heh. That's assuming you believe in all that stuff. <br>

I know of course that the reason for the 9/11 attacks was to cover up
the faked moon landings, which were necessary in order to keep us from
learning about the vast Bilderburger conspiracy to conceal the alien
origin of the pyramids, which of course were built in order to distract
us from the overwhelming evidence that THE EARTH IS FLAT (

Seriously, I like this but I think it's gonna be a tough sell.<br>

<div dir="ltr">This may seem to come out of left field (as do many of
my ideas...) but I would like some feedback on a proposal to renumber
the calendar year.<br><br>The current scheme is based on an event that
is controversial and not exactly well defined time-wise. Further is is
oriented around a time period that is longer than a solar year. Having
the year numbering system based on an event that is central to one
religious culture denigrates all others.<br>
<br>I would like to propose a new calendaring scheme based around an
event that represents a human milestone achievement. Granted is tied to
the accomplishments of a single country but it is clearly a global,
human event.<br>
<br>In 1969 of our current counting practice, humans first set foot on a non-terrestrial object, the Moon. <br><br>Maybe
I'm just a science nut but that is a milestone of human achievement
that would make a better marker for calendaring than a nebulous date
range of 32 years not well known in the past and not acceptable to some
other cultures. <br clear="all">
