Actually, the clocks I have to change, I don’t. They’re on EST year round. I just mentally add an hour. Computers and cell phone I don’t worry about.
The body clock, however, is another matter entirely. It gets real cranky.
Like I said, I am not the one trying to change anything ... you are.
AND, if you want to change it, just have the voters in your state vote on it. It’s that simple!
Just follow your body, then ... if it’s a problem. The government won’t put you in jail for doing that ... :-) ...
30 days in April. 31 days in December. 30 days in June. 28 or sometimes even 29 days in February.
Drives me nuts.
I say let's go to a 13-month calendar of 28 days each (4 weeks). Nice and clean. We can call the 13th month Saturnalia and it will follow December as the last day of the month.
Saturnalia will be a time of merrymaking, food and drink and carnal pursuits.
Now that accounts for 364 days.
The 365th day can be New Year's Day - the day following Saturnalia. On Leap Years, it's a two-day holiday, in which we can do some extra partying before plunging into the regular calendar.
Of course. Life is as hard as you make it.
Ummm ... I don’t see anything anywhere that says you can talk about it and that’s fine, but when I talk about it ... that’s not ...
Your idea that it’s okay for you to talk about it, but that no one else should who disagrees with you, sounds more like the “Liberal mentality” than anything else.
“Of the 71 that did, there were at least 20 different adoption dates. In Minnesota, St. Paul was on one time, Minneapolis was on a different time, and Duluth was on Wisconsin time. In fact, somebody even found a Minneapolis office building in which the different floors of the building were observing different time zones because they were the offices of different counties.”
You’re really foolish and brainwashed.
You’re making stupid claims that patently ridiculous and puerile.
The nation goes on DST and off at the whim of the government.
There’s NO input, via votes or otherwise, and never has been.
Sam, blame the Roman Catholic church and then work your way backwards, so that you can also blame Augustus and then Julius Caesar.
LOL ... yeah that sounds like something that could end up being a REAL BIG ISSUE on Free Republic ... certainly worthy of some very serious discussions and slurs and cussing! Oh, and don’t forget to leave out the “troll accusations”.
DST is not a national policy. Your local government can opt out.
No, it’s as difficult as a government may make it, or not; as the case might be, for starters.
Then, there are developments that other nations, or people make, which influence how difficult or easy one’s life is.
Sure there is input. If there is a majority of citizens in a state who want to do that, they can have a referendum and get it done. It is really that simple!
BUT THEN ... if the complainers are only part of a “WHACKO MINORITY” ... then no, that whacko minority will not get the rest of the voters in the state to go along with them ... :-) ...
No, you make blanket statements about others, which isn’t “fine” and then complain about those who disagree with you.
Bored are you, tonight; or are you just craving attenbtion?
Welcome to Free Republic. Are you just now finding out how it works around here? ... :-) ...
It is a national program, which those who opt out, are forced to comply with on many different levels.
I did my homework in study hall 6th period and played BB until 8.
I was in charge of when I wanted study hall. AP English and Math covered. Would meet on Saturday with classmates if needed.
Tell that to Indiana and Arizona.
Insults, now ?
You belong over at DU !
It’s a national program that has the provision for you to opt out. The reason why people haven’t opted out on your state is that they don’t agree with you ... :-) ...
