Like your Indian quote, but actually it is worse than this.

They (gov’t) take one hour away 7 months(Spring) of the year and add one hour 5 months(Fall) of the year.

If they only would balance the year, 6 months spring forward and 6 months fall back. No, we actually lose one hour for approximately one month, 30 hours, roughly a loss of 1.4 days a year. We lose this time every single year.

Huh? Your math is waaaaaay off. In spring, you lose one hour, one single time. In Fall, you get that hour back, one single time. You aren't subtracting an hour every day during DST, only that one time for the offset. That said, DST is retarded and should be completely eliminated.
