Daylight saving time...

[thompal]

I remember when Indiana was on DST when I was a kid. From what I can remember (as I remember is from my then-5-year-old's perspective) is that it was done away with because a) it's stupid; and, b) people didn't like the government mandating that the time actually somehow changed twice a year.

What I've noticed this time around is that those same people who advocated going back to DST are the same ones who now demand that schools and businesses open one hour later because now, under DST, it's still dark when the kids have to go to school and it's dangerous.

Morons.

Every six months, a dozen whining threads get started on INGO about DST.

An "unfunded mandate."

Ah Spring is around the corner ... the DST threads have started.

 

[cobber]

lmao.. But this is the fedral gubermint we are talking about.

Well, no, actually Mitch Daniels inflicted this on the Free Republic of Indiana. He said it would increase out-of-state business with Indiana.

Anybody experience the $$$ bump yet?

There's no law that says that you must change your clocks.

If you want to call 8 PM 9PM go for it.

Live your life. Quitchyour*****in'

I don't know about money bump, but it does help since two major clients on the the East Coast. Bump? Cannot say, but it does reduce costs.

Time for double daylight savings time! The Productive Class strikes back!

Take that you "I cannot change my clock so I want everyone else not to flaunt their clock changing skills in my face"!

What, are you a fascist? "You don't like something, tough, you're not allowed to complain!"

It's a semi-free country, I'll complain all I want, especially if I know it annoys the DST fetishists.




"In Soviet Russia, clocks change YOU!"*


*yes, I know that was communism.

I would change your clock for free, ATM. You wouldn't have to pay me in bacon.

Good thing you live in Crawfordsville. No change is necessary as in Crawfordsville it is always 1955.

Going to do it in the parking lot?

Wherever his clock is. I will change it for him that way we will have one fewer opponents of daylight savings time.

Slowly I build for double daylight savings time! Victory shall be mine.

Well I hate it because people call it Daylight SAVINGS time. It is truly called Daylight SAVING time. it is NOT plural.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation!

Some of you guys are Waaaayyyyyyyyyyy to high strung.

The fact is, while comical, it true that the notion of the government "extending the day" is a silly notion and it illustrates the absurdity of the government wanting to control EVERYTHING. Including "how long" the day is.

Arizona and Hawaii moved are in the 21st century and have been since the 20th.

If anything this thread shows how firmly planted to the governments teat some people are.

It's bizarre to the reverence here to what some people view as an omnipotent entity they call "government".

It's a funny line from an old Indian (allegedly), how some people can get butt-hurt by it.... wow, I have no idea how they keep from eating a bullet. Wayyyy to sensitive.

Why not make it standard time and daylight waisting time.

Not only does it screw up my body clock but that extra hour of sunlight is going to increase global warming!!

 

[JBob77]

I like Daylight Saving time. I work 11+ hours a day, 5 days a week. That shift in time puts me driving to work in the morning in the dark, versus being near dark when I get home. What the heck do I need an hour of Sunlight on my way to work for anyway. I guess if you work construction, agricultural, or other outdoor work it would suck for you, but if you live life on someone else's schedule, that hour of sunlight at the end of the day makes a huge difference.

I ONLY set my clocks back in the fall, and never advance them in the spring.
