There never was not many nights not every year where nothing was the right way. That is not a tribute to this night. How do they not know where to go not being forward? It is not difficult. April Fool's Day did not get you thinking about that subject.
Okay, for now, we'll take a break from the backwardness. What does it mean to say the opposite? Is it just saying the opposite verb, or are we supposed to also say the opposite nouns and adjectives and adverbs and pronouns as well? Or can we be opposite on a grander scale, where the sentence has the opposite meaning instead of just having each word be its opposite? It would be so much easier if that were the case (unless that was a backwards sentence). Doesn't thinking about this make you paranoid? It makes me uneasy trying to distinguish whether someone was being opposite or not.
I hate how opposite day doesn't actually have a date. It can come at you at any moment. All of a sudden your friends start talking in gibberish and you know that it's opposite day. I think that this day is just a way to act ridiculous while having it be acceptable in everyday life. When the government or when a large group of people support the movement it becomes acceptable, even if it is not necessarily proper or right. That is what is wrong with this system. We cannot have this day just floating around in time because then large groups of people will not be able to support it like we support Chirstmas and Thanksgiving and Easter in the United States. Instead, we have sporadic outbreaks of Opposite Days every so often, but no real day that we can claim as a day of opposites.
I have realized how the system works! Wikipedia agrees with me, as they allow changes based on what the populous thinks is right. The way to get things done is to be a part of the majority. But to do this we must conform. But this goes against the American individuality code that we have in place in the US. So how are we supposed to get anything done if everyone has their own opinions and they are too stubborn to conform (because it's bad, naughty conformists!)? A problem in the system? Or maybe it's a good explanation for why we don't get more done. For example, the UN is notorious for not getting anything done because the leaders are too full of it to reconcile differences and work together to accomplish common goals. People need to learn to work together to make things work. That doesn't necessarily constitute conformity, it just means that there must be some give and take. For example, to make Opposite Day work, people need to agree on a set date, even though this date might not be the ideal time for everyone. It's a tough world, but that's how it goes.
