What Time Is It and What Are We Saving?

Well, we are going to start "saving daylight" earlier this year. Do you ever wonder if all this daylight that we save in the summer months could be causing the global warming? But seriously, what are we accomplishing with this daylight saving time? A gentlemen on the radio gave the best analogy I think I've ever heard. He said DST is like cutting a foot of fabric off the top of a blanket and sewing it on the bottom. A day is 24 hours and there is only so much of it that is going to be illuminated by the sun. So, the '05 Congress decided we would save electricity by extending DST. I noticed this morning when the alarm came on, that I do turn on the lights and it isn't yet daylight, and after Sunday morning, the people getting ready for work and the children getting ready for school will be getting up to the same "sky" as the farmer. They'll turn on the lights! And then at night, it will still be light while it's time for the children to go bed, so they won't need lights while they sleep??? What significant savings are they talking about, an hour less of the 4 watt night lights? Who are they kidding? Everyone will be getting up in the dark and driving to work in the dark. And playing later in the evening and spending more for the recreation. This is really about keeping the economy going and the people in a continuous state of flux and adjustment. Does the present administration really think 3 weeks of an hour jump on the global market will give us the financial edge that our economy needs? Some of the things I have noticed that will change, though, is computers are programmed to automatically change the first week-end of April and the last week-end of October, so that may change many things. Perhaps there will be savings of electricity if all the computers cease to function between now and April 1st. Then there is the fact that we will be out of sync with the rest of the world that participates in this charade of lengthening the day. So, how will the international flights work for the next three weeks as, once again, the rest of the world attempts to accomodate the American's insistence to be in the lead, even when changing the clocks? I've read a couple of places where it is being compared to the potential of Y2K. Did the former Congress realize we finally have the proper administration in power for the actual event of a Y2K crisis?
