2/YR Daylight Saving

It's Al Gore's fault.
 
Somebody needs a nap.

It happens once you get old.

I should know.
 
I thought it was pretty funny. Personally, I think we should use DST all year long. I hate loosing an hour of afternoon light in the winter.

Leave it just as it is in the summer. Stop changing the crap around.
It’s stupid and serves no purpose.
They do it just to screw with people.

I hate change for nothing more then just change.
 
Daylight savings time should be year round. It serves no purpose anymore. People would be healthier and happier if we had more daylight during waking hours and no time changes twice a year throwing of our circadian rhythms...
 
I use a sun dial.

Ooooh, the Roman Plautus would be aggrieved:

The gods confound the man who first found out
How to distinguish hours! Confound him, too,
Who in this place set up a sundial,
To cut and hack my days so wretchedly
Into small portions! When I was a boy,
My belly was my sundial -- one surer,
Truer, and more exact than any of them.
This dial told me when 'twas proper time
To go to dinner, when I had aught to eat;
But nowadays, why even when I have,
I can't fall to unless the sun gives leave.
The town's so full of these confounded dials
The greatest part of the inhabitants,
Shrunk up with hunger, crawl along the street.


-- Plautus

For those who wish the original Latin, this is a fragment from the Play Boeotia:

Par ut illum di perdant, primus qui horas repperitquique adeo primus statuit hic solarium;qui mihi comminuit misero articulatim Diem! nam <unum> me puero Venter erat solarium,multo omnium istorum optumum et uerissumum.ubi is te monebat, esses, nisi quom nil erat.nunc etiam quom est non estur, nisi Soli lubet.itaque adeo iam oppletum oppidum est solariis, maior pars populi aridi reptant fame.

YES!!! Do away with DST and leave it like it is during the summer!!!

The SOB who came up with it should be shot and hung. Twice a year it screws my sleeping schedule up.
