Time Is Evil

Why is midnight, the moment between yesterday and today, represented as 12:00? This implies that it is the end of yesterday, rather than the beginning of today. I can live with that. However, what really irks me is that 12:30 am is earlier than 11:30 am. This really pisses me off. I'm certain now that the people who devised our system for tracking time are the most evil people who ever lived. This is far worse than calling the year 2000 the beginning of the 21st century. We must stand up, together as the people of the earth, and demand that this be fixed.

Actually, if we all just adopted the 24-hour clock, 12:30 am would be 00:30 am. This makes me feel better. Whew!

Thanks for listening.
