Old Father Time & the Gov't
So why does the Congress still get to decide what time it is? I like my Dad's idea, he said they should change the clocks back one-half hour, kinda split the difference between fall back and spring ahead and just leave it like that and let Nature takes its course. Does it still serve a purpose? I think it had to do with farming at one point. Took me a couple days to adjust to the losing an hour's sleep and I felt rushed all day like some invisible hands pushing me from behind, the clock read 5PM when it should've been really 4:00. I'm only guessing but I think the libertarian POV would be To Leave the Clocks the Hell Alone!

.." the libertarian POV would be To Leave the Clocks the Hell Alone!" Oh, it would be more than libertarians. Arizona & Hawaii
ReplyDeletedon't follow DST. Russia, Ukraine
and Belarus recently quit (socialists joining the libertarians) From a technical standpoint, countries near the Arctic circle don't use it (half the year the sun doesn't even come up) nor do those in equatorial areas (sunrise/sunsets remaining
more or less constant)
...so hey, how about a boycott?
I don't give a shit what you do with the clock. All I know is it's fucked up to be coming home from work at 4:30pm and have it already getting dark. I'm not a fan of shoveling or snowblowing the walkway in the dark.
ReplyDeleteHey Soapie, how are you gonna feel when Ron Paul endorses Romney?

ReplyDeleteSick to your stomach?
ReplyDeletehehe,
ReplyDeleteYou know even if Obama had a modest to-do list like get rid of Daylight Savings Time, get rid of the Post Office, rid the country of Port-o-Sans I could respect that. Some modest list of accomplishments to run on, not a great president but he made Life smoother.
It appears we have a comedian in our midst.
ReplyDeleteLemme guess, you're doing two shows nightly?
