First I would like to say. I hate Daylight Savings Time.

It messes me up for about a week every time, pardon the pun. It was originally conceived as a practical joke by Benjamin Franklin, only I'm not laughing. Congress put it into effect for pilots during World War II. However, with today's nightvision, avionics, and electronics, I don't think we even need it anymore.

It's a hassle to change your clock. And which way do you change the time. A nightmare if someone is dyslexic. By the way, I'm not. But still it's an inconvenience and then when you try to get up in the morning your brain is still going "you've still got an hour....zzzzzz".

The dog want's to go out at seven, although it's now what, eight, maybe six. Throws the dog off too.

as useless as one and two cent coins, but still not a single freaking person seem to be able to stop this madness.
I mean every almost every person hates this (ok in spring it might be ok when you don't have a light on your bicycle)

While I don't have any issues (I can sleep almost everywhere and every when) - things are different when you have children.

I would also say that Daylight Savings Time needs to die in a fire. I'm past sick of having my body clock constantly 'out of whack' and my sleep cycling pushed to ruin. Between that and PGI being too short-winded on time allowances for Events, I'm a total wreck all year round. :angry:

Kalimaster, you've written an awesome post. I like. B)
