#41: - Memorial Day to Labor Day is IMPOSSIBLE

I disagree. I'm only 48 and when I was a kid school started immediately after Labor Day and ended either at Memorial Day or in the first week of June. How did we turn out? Just fine, thank you. There's no reason that kids today can't benefit from the same schedule. What's all the fixation on the 180? It's just a number, and we can easily change that to 170 if necessary.

Or 160 or 150 or even less, hey we can do away with school all together and let the Chinese take over! This isn't the same world you and I grew up in and our kids are behind in education, even with the rest of our own country. Why are you so opposed to trying something new? The old system isn't working as well as it should so lets try something new.

Hardworking People Against AB 928

Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization

To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...
