Well if you rely on monthly fees for income I guess it's good.
If you have a birthday on the 29th, 30th or 31st it might not be.

Described on his Internet home page as "both a visionary and a prophet",

Beware anyone who describes himself as a prophet or gets his friends to do the same (a very common ploy among New Age speakers)

Dr. Arguelles bestowed upon himself the pagan name of, "Valum Votan". In a New Age magazine interview, he said it was "not until after he experimented with LSD that he realized he was a visionary."

Great, just great. Two guys drop acid, one lives under a bridge and another one goes to work for the UN.

Sounds like a bunch of Europeans are still upset that we have not started using the Metric system. Oh well. I have faith that, Christmas and the calendar that we use now, will remain for a good long time.

Use common sense here. Remember changing calendar means a change of routine for most people on the world. You have to rename all names of months and days, and hey, all softwares with dates instantly become obsolete. If you think the Y2K bugfixing is tedious, think about how much more efforts are needed to change all embedded and regular software containing date mechanisms (changing the number of months from 12 to 13, and number of days in a year). This calendar actually looks more like several non-Western lunar calendars. (Islamic and Jewish. Chinese calendar is a mix of solar and lunar factors) It actually looks far less rationalistic than the Gregorian calendar, so I doubt whether we will see it. IMHO this calendar has a greater chance of becoming reality instead, if the New Agers at the United Nations have their say: The World Calendar

Sorry, formatting was bad. Here's the fixed one.

This is a rationalistic rearrangement of the Gregorian calendar, and they had even had that "World Day" for the New Age buddy buddy use. ;-)

The two largest self-identified people groups in the world, Christians and Muslims, use religious based calenders. The Chines use one based on the founding of one of the dynasties, I think. Why should more than 65% of the worlds population (these three groups) change to accommodate well less than 1% of the worlds population (Wiccian, pagan, New Age) for a 13 month cycle.

Witnessing the effort that went into Y2K, most of the developed world (1st and 2nd world countries) use the Gregorian Calender in their computer systems. It will be next to impossible to change the computer dating to a 13 month cycle.

Ain't gonna happen, no matter what the UN tries to do.

That'll teach me to work on my post for more than 5 minutes. You said everything I wanted to much better then I did about Y2K. Thank you for the link to the World Calender.

Traditional Chinese calendar is built with both lunar and solar cycles in mind. Months reflect moon cycles, with a 13th month added approximately every three years to take account of disprency between solar and lunar cycles (If we take lunar cycles only into account, the result would be like Islamic calendar which is useless for agricultural purposes - all special days (not holidays) in Chinese calendars are based on weathers.

Years are usually formed with a 60 year cycle with a combination of two words. In conjunction traditional year name of the emperor is also used with the year name (so we will say Fifth year of blah blah blah, year blah blah in traditional Chinese calendar). Since 1912 with the successful Revolution overthrowing the Qing dynasty and the proclaimation of the Republic of China, China has formally been on Gregorian calendar (except that very often year names were written in xth year of the ROC. This practice has effectively ended with the Communist People's Republic of China in power). However, the old calendar's new year day is still a formally recognized statuatory holiday in China.

It actually looks far less rationalistic

The UN, as a whole, is irrational, and so are most of its employees, commissioners, czars, apparatchiks, and hangers-on.

The world's gift to NYC.

"Lifetime activist for peace" Jose Auguelles wants the calendar changed because of the connotations of the Christian religion.

What's wrong with this picture?

I don't see it happening for a couple centuries, if ever, but anything is possible.

Hasn't Pope John Paul 2 lent vociferous public support to the aims of the U.N.?
I wonder if his holiness will apologize for these statements in the light of these developments.
It seems that these days Vatican apologies are reserved for "overzealous" attempts to convert the heathen and stem the rising tide of islam during the crusades.
