Speaking with much experience now, All the millisecond methods
in the Calendar classes need to be exposes, like why is "long getTimeInMillis()"
marked as protected, but "Date getTime()" public? Then I just need to call
Date.getTime() to get the milliseconds, but this object proliferation is really
killing my performance, besides it is not very consistant. Also, Why do the
Calendar classes have to good(tm) ctors ? Like ones that accept a Date or long
to set the initial time? The same goes with the setTimeInMillis(long) method.
If you are going to deprecate 3/4 of the Date class, then do it the right way?
 Like why is Date.getTime() almost the only method left ? why didnt that get
rolled into Calendar ? Makes sense. After this weekend, I dont ever want to
touch the Calendar classes again.
