I share Mark's lack of allegiance. But that's not entirely the point.
** Well, it was entirely my point. I don't mind using the
baseline, I mind proclaiming the faith.
Here in Israel, for everyday purposes it's considered
1997. But in Hebrew we don't call it the Year of the Lord
1997. We call it the 1997th year of the count. If we
were referring to what a Christian might call 1997 BC,
we'd call it "1997 before the count."
