Call to Action

As we approach the year two thousand and ten, we approach the year of the Personhood Amendment. With activity in 32 states, at least one is likely to pass, but fight vigorously anyway to make sure.

But don't let this very important issue mak e you loose track of the bigger picture. Fight for the unborn, yes, but also fight for the poor, the young, the old, the gay, women, et cetera. Fight for free speech, freedom of religion, for the separation of church and state, for school reform, for a more reasonable language (Esperanto), for a more reasonable numeral system (dozenal), and for logical arguments.

Fight against euphemisms, restrictions on freedom, and unequal treatment.

Obama's first 100 days

Obama has made uncountable steps to promote abortion and practically none to promote socialized medicine or even universal healthcare. As a socialist, I am disappointed by what the Republicans promised we'd get from Obama.

Today...

is a momentous day for pro-life dozenalists such as myself. Instead of the typical pwnage, I will leave you with a quote:

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

And two words:

  1. Take
  2. Action

Now go do some pwnage of your own!

12 > 10

For my twelfth post, I want to adress a flaw in your lives that you've probably never evan noticed, and you probably didn't even realize there were alternatives.

Yes, I'm talking about ten.

We've been taught (indoctrinated) since birth that counting goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and then we move over to the tens' place. That's just how counting works, no alternatives. I'm sure you're aware by now of binary and hexadecimal? Dozenal is the same except you roll over at, you guessed it, a dozen.

You are probably more familiar with "duodecimal". Most dozenalists (including myself), however, despise this term because of its decimalist bias.

The reasons to support the dozenal numeral system are many, but I will point out the main thing going for it.

Factors

Twelve is the smallest supercomposite natural number out there. This means it's great for fractional numbers. Below is a table of fractions in dozenal and decimal from Wikipedia

Okay, the table won't post right. Here's a link to the section it's in. I'll wait.

...

You can see the benifit, can't you? In fact, ten is one of the worst bases factor-wise, save maybe nine or a prime.

For more reasons to support dozenal, research the Dozenal Society of America or the Dozenal Society of Great Britain. Or I could just link to them. I think I'll do that.

Please promote dozenalism and help fix this rediculous problem.
