i think.
every clock we have is set to a different time.
neither of us can remember which clock enables you to see the right time
often we have to consult the official timepiece of the united states

http://nist.time.gov/

there is a politics of time.
the official american clock, being digital, imposes an aristotlean notion of time on us
time is an endless series of abstract now-points modelled on a numerical series
it is quite other than the time of experience.
dont you think?
