Daylight Savings Time

Once again this time of year the whole North American continent with a few exceptions along with a lot of the world turn back their clocks. The original idea of twelve noon was that the sun was at its zenith and there was equal daylight in the forenoon as was in the afternoon. This probably worked well in an agrarian society. With industrialization came the need to have more natural light in the evening, thus came the idea of daylight savings time and each 6 months the clocks were dutifully turned forward and back. In our post agrarian, post industrial society we are finding that daylight savings time saves energy this the daylight savings portion of the year has been extended by several weeks each way so that daylight savings time occupies much more of the year than standard time.

What I propose is to eliminate the insanity of moving the clocks at all, advance them to daylight savings time and leave them all year long. Ask yourself if this constant moving the clocks serves any useful purpose and you will agree with me.
