"...an idea whose time has come?"

I really hate such sentence fragments. The full sentence should be:

"...an idea whose time has come to pass?"

I fully expect this petition referendum to move on with the grace and speed of the digestive system itself, with similar results.

Imagine the opening ceremony, the dignitaries and engineers all flushed with success, the peal of trumpets and the blare of kazoos.

Cheerily,
