Looking for everyone's opinion on this.
Mine. I basically started me life as a farmer when I was 4 years old and helping me dad and me mom. Us farmers ALWAYS measure the "day" as "sunup" to "sundown," not some stupid fucking timepiece known as a clock (or watch). Even today, some 40 years later of not being a farmer, I still measure a "day" as being from "sunup" to "sundown" and "night" is from "sundown" to "sunup". My feelings is that Daylight Saving Time (DST) should be utterly eradicated and made illegal under penalty of death.
The next time it rolls around, we should just set the clocks 30 minutes ahead or back, depending upon when it is done, then leave the clocks alone. Man has survived without the need for DST for hundreds of thousands of years. We can get by without it now.
The USDOE (Department of Energy) states that by using DST, we save about 5 to 8 percent on our energy costs during the summer months here in the US. I say it is bullshit. A class I was in studying GIS did a study and showed it is actually only about 1 to 2 percent, making DST a useless function.
Just wondering what y'all thought.
