Here's a good op-ed piece from Manila about the leap second.

It ends thus

    Why worry? Or, more to the point, what's the point?
    [...]
    It's good to know that there are people who take these things
    seriously. But for most of us, a second more or a second less is
    more or less a question of taste.

and happy Bastille Day, albeit a bit late.
