I would hope they wouldn't agree! What time did he want it to be in the whole country: LA Time, Mexico City Time or maybe halfway in between? Sounds like a silly analogy about fragmentation to me. Or to look at it another way, if someone in The Capital wanted to impose a country-wide standard time, I can see why there would be fragmentation! -Paul
