Any way to disable "Use Relative Dates" everywhere in Finder?

Is there any way to make Use Relative Dates to NOT be on by default in Finder?

I just hate the yesterday, today, etc. crap. I want to just see the file dates. Period. I don't want to have to figure out what the date was yesterday to do a file date comparison.

Yes, you can turn it off but each time I check Use as defaults and open a new folder in finder, the relative dates are back! Argggh!

Thanks for any help on this.
