So this Daylight Savings Time thing. I still can't get anyone to explain to me just exactly what it
"saves"? Does it save daylight? no there is still the same amount of daylight. Does it save time somehow? Um, you are trading an hour back and forth. Why not call it Daylight Borrowing Time?
Or Daylight Sharing Time? What about the night part? There's never any daylight when it happens.
And it always messes up what time the sun comes up and goes down.
Historically, according to history anyways, this was invented by the french because Benjamin Franklin wanted to save some candle wax. Um, still the same amount of sunlight, get up an hour later
or go to bed at a decent hour ever Benny? No,, he was always up all night anyways. (Burning more than candles).
I always thought Daylight Savings Time was invented in 1976 by President Jimmy Carter to go along with his "lets turn the heat down to 65 and drive only 55 mph plan"? Or maybe it was to confuse the arabs and make oil cheaper...
When someone can make me understand the scientific point of this human folly, then I will be for it, otherwise...
get rid of it, it is additional stupid 2 times per year and we all have enough stupid to deal with other than trying to change all the clocks around and still manage to wake up on time...
You could move to Arizona. I hear they don't participate.
