Daylight Saving Time is an idiotic idea. There is no rational reason to force people to change their clocks (mechanical, electrical and biological) twice a year.

I agree. If people want to shift their work schedules in the summer, that's fine. Changing clocks is idiotic. My mother used to set her clock 5 minutes ahead so she'd have a bit of margin for getting to work. Of course she got to depend on that an had to increase it to 10 minutes. By the time she retired, her clocks were 40 minutes ahead.

The function of a clock is to provide a standard. There is no reason people can't adjust their schedules around seasons without fooling with the standard.

Give that man a ceegar!.

This biannual disruption in the normal progress of our ordering our lives around the rising and setting of the sun, is an outrage.

It started as "War Time." Jimmy Carter reinstitued it off the "Oil Crisis."

It has not gone away. Why? I reckon so the Yuppies can get in a round of golf, after a full day of pride and plunder, Yet, tomorrow morning, children will wait in the dark for the school bus.

Stop the insanity.
