Atralis 04/14/17 8:55:10 PM #3:	The basic answer "Universal Time" is in Britain because the British Empire was the top dog back in the 1800's when clocks finally got good enough to put an entire nation/world on the same time. It was called "GMT" Greenwich Mean Time until the 1970's when out of political correctness it was agreed to call it 'Universal Time" to make the French stop whinging. --- ~ IN THE FUTURE there will be no black people and white people.
