This madness will end once they join the U.S.

We here in Indiana don't have daylight savings time. We are so screwed up we are too good to change our clocks. Every year in the state house they argue back and forth whether to have it or not. You have several lobbyist groups like the farm bureau, the cinema people, the golf course people, big industry. It will surely pop up when our general assembly goes back into session this fall.

Let me be the first jerk to point out that it is Daylight Saving Time.

No S at the end of "Saving".

Savings are what you put in the bank.

I sympathize. That extra hour of daylight burns up the crops.

Canada's business is Canada's business, and I would never nose into anytone's argument about daylight savings time, but I wrote my opinion on the subject in the USA in the following poem:

Daylight Saving Time

Daylight saving time, an invention of fools
a perfect example of bureaucratic rules
we reset our clocks two times every year
saving daylight; do they store it somewhere?

If the dark ages should ever return
we know we will have daylight to burn
We'll rely on our governments so tested and true
to mete out that daylight to me and to you

Or will they have spent it until there is none
leaving just an IOU, like the other trust funds?
I guess we have led them to think we're not bright
when we trust them with money, as well as daylight

They remind us they own us, blood, flesh and bone
not even our time is really our own
the arrogance of government is what's hard to stand
they manipulate our time, just to show us they can!

Iran has its own timezone. So does Afghanistan. Newfoundland should continue to have its own timezone, too, because it needs something like being the first place in the New World the sun touches every day. What else does it have?

Parts of Canada are on Borrowed Time.

DST here in Michigan is a pain in the @ss! We're so far west in the Eastern Time Zone that when we go to EDT in April kids are walking to school in the dark and by May they can't sleep because the sun doesn't set until nearly 10:00 pm.

If the state were in the Central Time Zone, where it belongs, maybe I could accept it.

Ironically, in light of all the government-mandated safety features in cars and workplaces, studies continue to show a marked increase in traffic accidents and job-related injuries during the weeks following the imposition of DST every spring.
