Steve, chill out, you seem to have this whole Javahate thing going at 
the moment. It's just a language, like Python. You can write crap code 
in Java just like you can write crap code in any language. Just for the 
record 'Time' is way too complex a concept to encapsulate in a single 
class (we can debate that if you like although it all gets a bit 
philosophical) If you MUST have a Time Object in Java you can 
instantiate java.sql.Time, not really that complicated is it ?

I do enjoy debating with you but really, lighten up a bit, it really 
isn't that important, mankind existed for millenia before computers and 
programming languages. If we want to exist for millenia after their 
invention then we need to get off this planet. If you want to get 
excited about something then get excited about our apparent inability to 
exceed the speed of light. Until we solve that one we are doomed.

<waits for rant about how Java has destroyed the space program>

I'm thinking of adding a line to my sig for this group that says

"I don't hate Python, I like it for it's differences"

;-)
