Once again the country has made the switch to daylight saving time, trading a hour of sleep for an extra hour of evening sunlight. For the second year daylight saving time has been extended by four weeks starting three weeks earlier in March and ending one week later in November. This change is just one more reason for me to hate daylight saving time.
What is the point of daylight saving time anyway? I know the official line, it's to save energy. Well it's not 1784 and we don't use candles for light. Saving candles was Benjamin Franklin's reason behind his creation of daylight saving time. Maybe just maybe old Ben knew that oil would be $200 a barrel some day and we all would have to start making candles just so we could afford to see where we were going.
I've always been a so called morning person so I wished it would get light at 6 AM and get dark at 6 PM every day. The people who like daylight saving time are the same people who hit the snooze button on their alarm clock every morning because their life has become a drag. Those same people also like the ideal that their kids get an extra hour to collect candy on Halloween. I've never used an alarm clock in my life and it's been 50 years since I last trick or treated but some day I my have to use "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy and wise" as a candle wick for all the candles I'll be making.
If you look deep into the meaning of daylight saving time it's not about saving energy, it's about adults who don't want to get out of bed in the morning and kids getting hopped up on more sugar. If there was ever two things the world need less of it's lazy adults and hyper kids so bring back the Darkness so I can get all my stuff done before the lazy heads get up and all the kids start running wild in the streets.
I agree with you on this one!!!!

On your bring Back the Darkness" blog I must say that you were are in the game and up to bat. You hit the ball and over the centerfield it went.You get excited for you feel you have hit a homerun and for a small amount of time it seems you have. Only when you round the bases and head back to the dugout the home plate referee informs you that you did not touch 3rd base and you are OUT!!!! Just like this blog.......you are so for out of reality that it may send a 9.9 on the earthquake scale!!! Daylight saving time has nothing to do with saving energy. It was designed for the working class to enable them to have longer daylight hours when the get off work. I love daylight saving time and I have NEVER used a snooze button. Once my alarm goes off, I'm up and eagerly starting my wonderful day!!!! My life is not a drag, just because I love the daylight hours!!!You mentioned you get your stuff done early, heck that's easy to do when you ain't got nothing to do all day(ie..no job) and speaking of having no job, this is why you've never had an alarm clock. Did I hear someone tell Blogger Bro. and I quote..."GET A JOB YA RETARD"
ReplyDeleteAnd D. agrees with you on this one, but wait a minute she also has no job.......go figure!
Hey LR.This comment is not a bashing, just stating the facts jack! So please LR do not take this as a bashing of Blogger Bro.
He ybb you are wrong. Daylight saving time is for conserveing energy. IT was in the paper today. With it staying light longer you don't have to use lights as early. Get you facts right.
ReplyDeleteD.
Just cause it was in the paper does not make it right! I use common sense and my judgement. D and Blogger Bro. should try to use some common sense when reasoning the facts! ybb
ReplyDeleteOh ybb. with daylight saving time you stay outside and have fun instead of inside with all the consuming product's of energy. You need to get more information. But we all have our own opinion.
ReplyDeleteD.
Yes we all have our own opinion, however some opinions are not in the correct field of play! ybb
ReplyDeleteWell ybb is completely in the wrong field of play and that's all I have to say on this.
ReplyDeleteD.
Well, I like daylight savings time--no matter what. I can get my chores done outside at night when I get home from work.
