If you ask a stranger for the time, who knows where they'll look for it. Try conducting your own unscientific experiment: Head into a public place and ask for the time. Eyes will roam across the room looking for the nearest clock. A fumble for cell phones or PDAs will ensue. The question used to be easy to answer - folks would just look at their wrists or tell you they didn't know.now watches is popular.you don't worry about time.

Where were these people when


Where were these people when George Bush "repeatedly wiped his butt with our Constitution"? Cowering in fear after 9/11, just like the whole rest of the country. Everyone clamered for those changes, because they wanted "saftey". Americans now are, thankfully, coming to their senses.
