But seriously, what good do you think is going to come of your letter to European politicians? Can you imagine them sitting round the conference table at the next G7 and saying, 'Let's put the world economy and global warning to the side for now and take up this calendar issue'?

Lamarck was at best an innovator, but not a very good one. He got everything wrong about evolution, and didn't believe in chemistry.

quite possible discussion. The USSR switched to the Catholic calendar. Although, the Russian Orthodox. The atheistic calendar is more global than the catholic. Why do Japanese and Greeks use Catholicism? Great7 discussed Gorbachev in the USSR and human rights in China, freedom of speech. The calendar is a good question, modern, progressive.
It's a stupid question. The Gregorian calendar is the most widely used one in the world, and the most successful in history. It's accurate, convenient, and makes sense. I don't see there being a lot of support for changing it simply because you've got a bug up your bum about it.
