Calendar Reform

Why Is This Idea Important?: Our current calendar is familiar, but comes with inherent confusion regarding months of differing lengths and leap years. What could we do with the national brain power invested in keeping track of the days and months? "theAbysmal Calendar developed as a means of observing the passing of days, moons and years in a manner more suitable to our global community than the current international standard, the Gregorian Calendar."

Consider revising our calendar to iron out some of the wrinkles. For example: http://theabysmal.wordpress.com/ "theAbysmal Calendar seeks to replace the Gregorian as our global calendar only, and doesn’t seek to replace it for those who wish to continue using it. Principally, theAbysmal Calendar serves as an elegant tool by which to facilitate conversion from one Calendar system to another."

A society that works well, is made up of layers of social systems that work well. We agree to arbitrarily move our clocks forward & back annually, and leap a day every 4 years, why not adopt a more elegant calendar to help us adapt to globalization and simplify daily life?

theAbysmal is one of many proposed calendar reforms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_reform
