Sorry for the confusion. I just reposted the statement that I was responding to. Essentially, I was going ...
Huh!? too!
Doesn't upset me. I live where the sun is there 6 months out of the year and not there the other 6 months.
I just think it's funny that some politician in DC thinks it's a feather in his cap.
You are just too darn funny...ROFLMAO!!
Excuse me?! How is that possible if you work your own hours from daylight until dark?! Who is stopping anyone from doing that?!
""Stand up for your right to set your own time!""
That would do wonders for commerce
How is it you confuse standardization of time zones with the pointless requirement that Americans change their clocks twice a year?
and for all that matter . . .
Why do you favor the arbitrary exercise of governmental power over our daily routines?
Well stated.
DST is stupid, move to Arizona or Hawaii, we don't do that crap.
ummmmmmmm??????
It would only be light "until FReepin' midnight" in mid summer, which we already have. If you use daylight savings time in the northern hemispehere in November it's light until, oh say, 6 PM. Now, your comment "And dark in the morning" is spot on, but that's obviously not the meat of your argument.
Think things through just a bit. I agree with your point, but the arguments are getting in the way.
Happens to me WAY TOO OFTEN. ;^>
You know what really bugs me about this whole thing? DST goes from the first week in March to the last week in November. That means "standard time" only covers December, January and February. Hardly sounds "standard" to me, now does it?
if you get excised over DST, you have far too much free time on your hands. I appreciate the extra hour of daylight after I get off work and have no problems what so ever with congress mandating a twice yearly time change.
This is hardly an intrusive threat to our rights
I was in Aukeryri, Iceland once, sun set at 1:01 am, and rose at 1:21 am.
Spent the whole night in a bar.
I think mcuh of the far right opposition to DST is based on the strange notion that standard time is "Gods Time"
FRiends, do you think our typso participant is a troll, or just a no0b who hasn't figured out that we're proud to be Far Right around here?
Its the same daylight, just changing the clock does nothing.
There was a guy on Hugh Hewitt's show who wrote a book about this, it was started so that Wall Street traders had more standardization, the most recent bill is bankrolled by candy makers, why? They want more people out on Halloween so they can sell more.
Its freaking stupid, if you want to maximize your time, move to the equator.
Nam Vet
I'm just venting :-). As a pregnant woman, I claim the right to not make sense every time.
If every community was free to set its own time, it would complicate commerce and I dont mean visiting your local 7-11. it would be hell for airline /train/bus schedulers
Yeah, I'm missing the endless night and endless day by only 60 miles.
I fail to see the relationship(s). Most companies who did not have a century code embedded in EPROMs or in their date data conversion files *could* have had an issue. None of my JD Edwards clients had an issue with the Y2K issue. The government had nothing to do with the private enterprise sector.
If you want me spell it out in technical terms, be my guest.
there is a differece between conservative and being to the right of the New American
Piffle. You're the one who set up the strawman of "every community setting its own time," anyway. We far right kooks just want Standard Time.
