Mayor Guilliane of New York -- has decreed that New Yorkers must turn their clocks ahead TWO hours- instead -- his reasoning is that this will significantly cut down on crime (as most crimes are commited at night)ergo less night=less crime --- the boro presidents of the bronx and brooklyn have refused to go along -- stating that this is just an election year ploy -- the boro presidents of queens and staten island agree with the Mayors position (they are republicans as is the Mayor)---so as of tomorrow New York city will have two times -- depending upon which boro you are in
eg:Manhatten --9pm
Queens--9pm
Staten Island--9pm
The Bronx--8pm
Brooklyn--8pm

i'd just like to get some Mudcatters thoughts on this situation ---
do you agree or disagree with the Mayor? etc.

heheehehee If that were the case, the Bronx and parts of Brooklyn should be pushed 4 hours ahead (at least)!! (just kidding, fellow New Yorkers...)

I just saw this thing on TV--there is one guy whose job it is to run around the City, maintaining all the clocks on public buildings. Just one guy. Amazing. I suppose he's very busy today.

Unfortunately, this is consistent enough with the good mayor's usual thought processes[sic] to be true! Same magic as if ya don't see homeless people, then they don't exist.

Actually, there should be 24 hour daylight in NYC. The Sun should NEVER set, because GOD doesn't trust Mayor Giuliani after dark!
