Yes you do: they are called sheriffs/cops/etc, and are unfortunately present in almost every country on Earth with the possible exception of small countries like the Principality of Sealand which to my knowledge do not accept immigrants/refugees. And because the nation-state laws these cops/sheriffs/etc enforce include laws about "legal time" which are anchored to ITU's UTC which you and/or PHK influence through your support of the "murder the leap second" proposal, these armed goons of various nation-states ARE in effect your minions in this respect. You and/or PHK (I don't remember exactly which, I think PHK, but your positions are obviously similar) have said repeatedly on this list that using any time scale other than those tied to UTC through various "legal time" statutes is illegal in a criminal sense. Therefore, my refusal to use anything UTC-based and running my life on rubber time instead (I divide each *mean solar day* into exactly 86400 seconds of non-precision variable length) makes me a criminal, right? And I thus interpret your zealous support of ITU UTC timescale enforcement as a threat to sic your armed enforcers on me, and I am thus preparing to respond with gunfire in self-defense.
