I agree. Daylight Savings should be abolished. Actually, the entire world should be on the same time. So when it is 7:00 am in New York, it should be 7:00 am in Tokyo!

When it gives me an extra hour, I love it!!!!! When it takes an hour.....GGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!LOL

Expanding on the "brilliance" of others ... while you're at it, why not abolish the international date line? That way, we could dispose of all those bothersome calendars! It would help clear my schedules, that's one thing for certain. ;-)

What's to hate. The sun still rises and sets has it has for millinea. Or are you one of those people who think the "extra hour of sunlight" kills your tomatoes?

I do. Very backward concept

I probably hate it worse than you because I think the idiot who invented it should have been shot!

As the old Indian chief said, "Only a government could be dumb enough to think that if you cut a foot off the head of a blanket and sew it on at the bottom, you would make a longer blanket."

Oh I hate that crap!

Why do you hate it?

This is my response to Millennium: Why do I hate it? First, it's unconstitutional. The Fed has no excuse to mess with our clocks. Check the 9th and 10th Amendments. Second, it was instituted to give us "more time to enjoy life after work," and "to save energy." It may have saved energy in the 1960s, before air conditioning was popular; but it no longer does so. It forces us to begin the work day in pre-dawn darkness, with an extra hour of air conditioning and household lighting; ditto for office buildings, which eat astronomical amounts of electric power. It also means an extra hour of air conditioning in the evenings. In the past two decades, even by government statistics, it costs more energy than Standard Time. It also creates a national phenomenon of disorientation and stress equal to several time zones worth of jet lag. Traffic accidents increase every spring immediately after the time change, and decrease in the fall after the return to Standard Time. I've done the research, but it was for my own information, so I didn't save the sources. Third, My objection is not to the idea of "saving" daylight, idiotic as that sounds. It would obviously be simpler and easier to change the work schedules than to change the clocks. Cheaper as well, I'd wager, but that's not the point. The point is that the program contributes to the mind-rot that increasingly infects our society. Literally hundreds of millions of otherwise competent folk have let themselves be conned into believing that by changing their clocks, they've actually changed the time. Please. Spare me. Or try an experiment. Let's say the time now is four PM. Change the setting of your clock and make it read noon. Go ahead, do it now; I'll wait. You're back? Good. Now look up. Is the sun directly above you? Is your shadow centred directly under your feet? Did your magic clock drag the sun out of its orbit, as Joshua's did? No, I thought not. Guess what? The time didn't become noon when you changed your clock. It's still four PM. But your clock says it's lunch time, so you have lunch. Your stomach isn't ready for that. And it won't be ready for no food at dinner time either. If you persist in adhering to your artificial time schedule, you'll screw up your internal organs. It plays Hob with your diurnal rhythms, with resultant psychological distortions. But your stomach and glands and bowel habits will adjust, over a few months, and you'll survive, if poorly. But your psychological perceptions will not adjust to the artificial time schedule. You've set up an increasing tension between what you perceive and what your body knows is real. It will grow ever more tense until in November you're permitted to re-set your clock to the position of the sun. You'll live in a parallax like the ones you find in a hall of mirrors at a carnival. You're living outside reality, which you can see but not quite reach. OK, one hour off is only a little bit skewed from what is real, and one point out of twenty-four is not a violent psychic twist. But it doesn't remain four percent twisted; it increases a bit every day that you stay on the warped schedule. In seven months' time you'll have seriously weakened your ability to perceive the difference between the real and the artificial. Whether I've made my point, or whether you agree or disagree, is, I hope, a minor matter. My more serious objection to the imposition of artificial time is the fact that it was imposed. A benevolent, but nonetheless dictatorial, Socialist government imposed the time change upon us without our having any say in the matter at all. No say in the doing of it, and no choice but to obey. Fourth, I'm not a morning person. It pisses me off to be made to begin my day in the middle of the bloody night.
