Is there anyone out there that agrees with me that reverting back to Standard Time is an absolute waste? Leave it on Daylight Saving Time (that's right, there is no 's' at the end of Saving) and let us have more bright hours in the afternoons and evenings which most people enjoy. Agree?
Statistics have proven the spring forward movement saves energy, benefits health, and lowers traffic accidents. Arizona does not make the change and stays on Standard Time throughout the year. Well, goody goody for them. The Navajo Nation present in that state respects the time change. Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands also do not change the clocks from Standard Time.
Let me make this clear: Daylight Saving Time year round - YES and Standard Time go away forever. Since folks other than the Navajo Nation in Arizona choose not to endorse Daylight Saving Time why can't Mississippians choose to practice it year round? Sitting there yesterday and watching it get dark at 4:00pm sucked! Now I want to awaken at 4:00am instead of 5-ish. Yuck!
Just think, you will probably drive home in the dark tonight. Does that suck or what? In the words of that great celluloid philosopher Mr. Yosemite Sam, "Burns my hide, gol durn it!"
"There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time."
