The next leap second will be added to the clock on June 30, 2012. A leap second is a one-second adjustment to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). At the same time, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), a United Nations body that governs some global issues related to time, has been contemplating the controversial idea of a leap second. They considered abolishing the practice, but in late January 2012 – with delegates from more than 150 nations meeting in Geneva – the ITU decided to defer a proposal to dump the leap second until their 2015 meeting. Like the ancients who insisted that all motion in the heavens must be perfect, uniform and unvarying, many of us today assume that the Earth’s rotation – its spin on its axis – is perfectly steady. Yet Earth’s rotation does not stay perfectly steady.

So if I have this right.

Most of the righties crying "socialism" have no idea what socialism is.
Socialism-Worker control of the means of production. Community self-governance. A belief in personal freedom, responsibility and self direction.
