I would hope they wouldn't agree!  What time did he want it to be 
in the whole country: LA Time, Mexico City Time or maybe halfway

Sounds like a silly analogy about fragmentation to me.

Or to look at it another way, if someone in The Capital wanted to
impose a country-wide standard time, I can see why there would
be fragmentation!
