And another example of the mess that we have gotten into:

Just a second, 2009 _ the Earth needs to catch up.

Here’s my take: Forget this stupid connection to time. For all practical purposes, the sun will rise around the same time for an entire generation and set in the same basic time period. The timing changes minutes per day, does it really matter if it changes a few seconds over one person’s lifetime? I think not. Let’s get rid of time zones. Let’s get rid of leap seconds and above all, let’s abolish daylight savings time. If you want there to be more light when you come home in the afternoon, start work at 7 in the morning instead of 8. That’s all DST accomplishes, it just involves everyone having to reset their clocks to pretend it is the same time.

Do whatever you want, just don’t make it a pain for the rest of us! Has anyone ever calculated the amount of money lost implementing stupid things like Daylight Savings Time? I imagine it is even way worse in years when we decide to differ from the standard rules regarding the start and end. Maybe we could get both the state and federal government out of debt if we didn’t waste our money on archaic things like this.
