I see you were so confident that I am mediocre that you failed to post
this anywhere but where you would get unchallenged agreement-
How ordinary of you
Mediocre=of moderate quality, ordinary.

Er, perhaps you failed to notice that you didn't answer the question?

Okay, so you don't like that one. So, how about:

There is certainly nothing impossible about abduction by aliens in
UFO's. But on the grounds of probability it should be kept as an
explanation of last resort. It is unparsimonious, demanding more than
routinely weak evidence to support it.

Fearful;
.."but the idea many times of the reasons that those fears occur in your
society, when you are interacting with beings from other societies in
that way, no matter what level you are interacting with them, the reason
that many of those fears occur is because-let us say-and again in no
way, shape, or form, is this meant to be a comparative judgement that
you are any less than any other being. But the way you create yourselves
to be, the way you have been taught to think of yourselves, creates
within you the ability to hide and suppress many portions of your
consciousness from yourselves, and in doing so you function on a lower
vibratory frequency very often. When you come in contact with a being
that operates on a very high vibratory frequency because it is willing
to know itself as completely as it can, then those two frequencies when
they come together, will usually create the effect of the higher
frequency in a sense overwhelming the lower frequency, and forcing the
lower frequency to rise in pitch. In forcing the lower frequency to
raise in pitch, that will bring to the surface all the things that you
have been keeping buried within you, and bringing those things to the
surface when you are not ready to face them, can be a very fearful
experience for many of you. That is where the fear comes from." Bashar

Nobody fears ya, astrology boy...you're just a dumb shit who's always hiding
himself with popular wisdom quotes and high minded vibrational talk. Piss off
and learn a new esoteric thingy and leave astrology alone.

The American Atlas states that between 9/26/48 and until 6/14/67 they
were on standard time no EDT until 67.

I just found a 1996 edition of Time Changes. They whited out, literally,
Detroit as DST during that time. Thanks to all who helped.

Just to confuse things a little further, there are *two* kinds of
time changes. 1. A change in Time Zone. 2. A change from ST to DT.
Since this post refers to Detroit - a most likely candidate to a
change in Time Zone from time to time (no pun intended), make sure
that it was not a change in Time Zone, coupled with a change from
ST to DT that is at stake here.
Or, to be more precise, CDT (UT-5) = EST (UT-5).

There have been many times in the past when Detroit did not go on DST,
because it screwed up the shifts in the auto plants.
