To the government official(s) who, in their cockeyed wisdom, decided to play with the clocks of Americans:
Do not, I repeat, do not presume to know what "daylight savings time" is, who likes it and what time it saves and for whom. Yeah, maybe it provides an extra hour of daylight for those coming off the night shift......well, big deal. I'm certain all forty-thousand who work the night shift somewhere in North America really appreciate driving home in the daylight for four weeks extra. For the hundreds of thousands of others who now have to travel home in the dark after a day's work, your misguided manhandling of our natural circadian rhythm is not only NOT appreciated (double negative intended) one bit, but it is also fuel for civil disobedience.
I think it would be far more productive to have nationwide demonstrations held to protest daylight savings time rather than protesting Wall Street or whatever it is currently that is being singled out as evil. There must be thousands of parents of younger children who would like to wring the necks of the legislators who enacted this inane "law". To those bastions of the federal government who woke up one morning and thought, "Let's tinker with the clocks nationwide!" - I think the best punishment for your single-handed affrontry would be for all the parents - whose kids' sleep schedules are now totally messed up - to send their tired and irritable children to the dim-witted politicians for one week, or as long as it takes for the dim-witted politicians to become tired and irritable from lack of sleep.
Perhaps there are lobbyists somewhere out there who persuaded the dim-witted politicians that daylight savings time was a capital idea. If you did, be a "man" and stand up and say, "Nay, nay. This is a very bad idea and I'll not be a party to it ever again!"
