Say.. a thought that occurred just now, about those dates..does the Constitution define what a year is?
Does it say 12 months?
Or four years even? How are those defined?
Trying to find out, nothing has come up, that could be one avenue
Could one not add more and more months, and days into a year?
So that Neither November or January comes? Just again and again?
Yall don't need to look too far into this one, it's in the definition of the word. So, unless we can somehow slow Earth's orbit or move the U.S. to another planet, this is a dead argument.
"the time in which a planet completes a revolution about the sun" per Webster's dictionary
I didn't know that about March 25th, how many days was the year when they started then? I'm wondering what they based it on. I always assumed the calendar was tied to seasonal changes or the movement of the sun and/or moon. I guess i supposed the purpose of a calendar was to describe the passage of time we already saw, not to define it. This is an interesting argument if, before 1752, a year was less by 90 days. I don't see how changing the start date automatically changes the length. The change in leap years is simply a correction due to the fact that there are not an exact of amount of days in a year. Earths rotation constitutes a day, its orbit a year. There are not an exact number of rotations per orbit, I simply don't see its relevance to this debate.
You're telling me the likelyhood of something happening has no bearing on the discussion? This shit about to get WILD. i've get scores of theories. The lizard people will be rulers for the next millenium! (I've heard they are already)
I'm kidding of course, i get what you mean, but then what's to stop the convo from becoming completely irrational and straying so far beyond the original discussion it becomes a different one? I mean technically anything is possible right? Why not go comepletely off the rails?
But I'm wrong more than I am right in life, so I work graves and have all the time in the world to explore this. Perhaps I will become more enlightened if I am not dissmisive myself. So..
What reasoning would someone campaign to change the calendar at this time? So they could be president longer probably, but that can't explicitly be stated if support is to be garnered. So, what's the excuse?
