Yes, to save any politics, time should start at some neutral point
chronologically, like my birthday. That way, people older than me
would actually be younger than they were before this was set up by the
number of years that they were originally older than me, IE. someone
older than me by 10 years would now be younger than me by 10 years as
the time before my birth is negative and is taken away from the time
after my birth. As there are a lot of elderly people in the wolrld,
they are all bound to vote for this system so it's very likely it
would be passed into global law. As for the meridian, it would have to
pass thought 27 St Martins Place, where I was born, of course, but
this would not be of great difficulty for most as this longitude is
very close to Greenwich so there would be very little change to be
made there. To celebrate the new Dawn Of Time (tm), there would be a
Global holiday and for the first time in my life, at least a few
people would be thankful that I was born. Having such a Global
holiday, would mean there would be no problems with international
business on that day as there would be no business on that day. As I
do not believe and any form of deity, there would be no objections
from any church as the time would be completely religion agnostic. All
in all, an excellent win-win exercise.
