Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

The board's time is set to Greenwich Standard Time. Why? Probably cuz enigma felt like doing it that way.

All times in UTC

That's "Coordinated Universal Time".

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) became a time standard in the 19th century for British maritime navigation. Greenwich, England was established as the "Prime Meridian" (longitude = 0 degrees) and the Royal Observatory was built at Greenwich.

The difference between GMT and UTC is that GMT is measured from noon whereas UTC is measured from midnight. However, few use the noon measurement and refer to GMT as if it were actually UTC.
