The annual mass delusion involving clocks

in daylight-saving •  6 years ago

Did you remember to mis-set your clocks as mandated?

I did.

As someone who is not a morning person, and has no interest in being one, it aggravates me greatly. If you want to get up an hour earlier, open your business an hour earlier and close it an hour earlier, go ahead. No one is stopping you. Just leave me out of your fantasy. Why demand everyone else do it, too?

In the past I have refused to go along with the silliness. It didn't work well. But I still hate the delusion that you can "save" daylight by mis-setting your clocks. It's a lie. Does it prime people to accept other lies?

I find the thought of moving to Arizona tempting for the sole reason that most of the state ignores the DST insanity. Two jokes on the subject:

The Doctor advises against tampering with time unless you're a professional.

An old indian once said, "only a white man would think you can lengthen a blanket by cutting a foot from one end and then stitching it to the other."

Yeah, I think the "old Indian" joke is right on the mark.

And, if "they" (or The Doctor) actually tampered with time, I wouldn't care (or notice). But time doesn't change; the clocks are just mis-set. Now solar noon won't arrive until 2:01 PM at my house tomorrow. It's already bad enough around here. It just gets made worse for most of the year. That's just ridiculous.

I remember a letter to the editor years ago, where this lady wrote in complaining that the extra daylight was fading the colour on her curtains.

Probably a v*ter.

They will do anything they can do to get us further away from nature and the natural state of being.
