This is the only bad idea Benjamin Franklin had. It was a stupid idea at best. Everything else he envisioned was spectacular!

I had no idea it was his idea. Thanks for the history lesson. :-)

Of course in Franklin's day America was an agrarian society and that extra hour of daylight helped the farmers better attend their crops.

Nowadays DST has gone the way of the buggy whip.

It was not a bad idea in his day when we were a majority agrarian society. It is probably now time to move on.
