Daylight Savings Time... My $0.02

Today, March 8, is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time in the United States, unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii, or territories. If you ask me, the entire concept is inherently flawed, and has been from day one. Now y'all know the concept, the idea is to have an extra hour of daylight in the evening. That's all fine and dandy, in an industrialized society, which uses clocks, and people get up at the same time every day. But back when it was first proposed, we were a more agricultural society, where people got up at daybreak, and stopped working at sundown. Back then, a farmer's alarm clock had feathers and tasted good breaded, fried to a nice golden brown, and served up with 2 sides and a biscuit. Sure, they worked until sundown. But since they got up at the break of dawn, that extra hour they worked at night was negated by the extra hour sleep they got in the morning. It's like the old Native American proverb, which compared Daylight Savings Time to cutting the foot off one end of a blanket, sewing it to the other end, and saying the blanket is now a foot longer. You aren't gaining daylight, you're shifting one hour from morning to night. The only way to actually get an extra hour of daylight would be to slightly slow the rotation of Earth, so we have a 25-hour day, rather than a 24-hour day. But it's not all bad. I do kind of enjoy watching the sun go down at 9:30PM...
