Example 1 of why this kludge (lie to the OS about the time zone) should instead be a setting to have the Calendar express time in a usre chosen time zone

Both Orrery and mClock are showing incorrect results.

All we travelers need is to have Calendar express itself in a user selected time zone. All the "hard stuff" has already been coded to allow the autmatic change that confused me to begin with. Just make it "N00bie discoverable" in the Calendar's menues.
