Daylight Savings Lunacy / myLot

I hate daylight saving time. Spring forward, indeed! Spring forward and grab the throat of the guy who came up with it is what I say. The motives behind the move were supposedly pure. But I say as does Winnie the Pooh: "Oh, bother!" Here's my fix: don't move the clock forward *or* back an hour. Set it half-way in between and leave me alone. Why not do that? Doesn't it make reasonable sense? The hour of the day is arbitrary, anyhow, or there'd *be* no Daylight Savings Time. Is there anyone among us who likes it? (Maw, get yore shotgun ready...).

I cannot agree with the concept of setting an fixed intermediate time because it would be permanently wrong. personally I feel that we should simply stop changing it at all and remain on the winter setting.

I do not see a reason for moving the clock back and fro. A day is still 24 hours. If you have a day with 14 hours, it does not matter how you adjust the clock, it will still be 14 hours.

Terry Ree, a Sioux who is half of the comedy duo Williams and Ree, says of daylight savings time, "You white people make me laugh. You cut an inch off the top of the blanket, sew it to the bottom, and think you've made the blanket longer." I'm part Cherokee so who am I to disagree? Arizona and Hawaii do DST correctly: they don't.

I like my daylight after work! So please keep changing it. It's arbitrary anyway and a treat to be able to take a walk after work with more daylight. Perhaps I could agree with Saskatchewan and stay on DST all year.
