Congress to add 2 months to Daylight Savings Time
July 20, 2005
It looks like Daylight Saving Time is about to be extended, and that has child safety and fire prevention advocates riled. …..
I hate Daylight Savings Time. Yes I absolutely hate it.
There is nothing more annoying that having to change clocks and sleeping patterns for no good reason.
Why?
To save energy? Well, sure just ask this congressman.
“The more daylight we have, the less electricity we use,” said U.S. Rep. Ed Markey (D-Mass.)
Oh I get it. We change the time and viola we have more daylight.
What does the earth stop rotating for an hour during daylight?
No? So we have the same amount of daylight. We are just tricked into getting up an hour earlier and going to bed an hour earlier.
Well thank you very much.
I really don’t care if it does save energy, it is crap.
Actually I should rephrase this. I do not hate DST itself, I hate the frackin changing.
If DST is so wonderful and saves so much energy why not just make the whole year DST. Imagine the energy we could save if everyone is tricked into getting up earlier the entire year.
jeesh

I would say DST is at the very least annoying just like I wrote about it back when Congress decided to increase the length of DST. [...]
