Who gets to set the rules that clockwise is "correct" and counter- clockwise is "incorrect"? The notion that left = bad and right = good is steeped in ancient (and wrong) beliefs about what nature prefers. Consider the centuries of abuse that left-handed folks had to endure, for instance.
That clocks move "clockwise" is a completely arbitrary decision and has nothing to with life moving forward or backward. Nature itself seems to show a predilection for counter-clockwise behavior. When viewed from north of the galactic plane, Earth rotates counter-clockwise on its axis and it revolves counter-clockwise about the sun. People move counter- clockwise in skating rinks, on race tracks, on baseball diamonds. Amusement park rides go counter-clockwise. It's the 21st century now. Do people really make technology decisions based on iron age fairy tales? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169238 Title: [UIFe] BFB icon swirl should run clockwise not anti-clockwise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1169238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
