DST ends- How about forever?

So, tomorrow morning, Sunday, November 6, the god-forsaken Daylight Saving Time ends for the year. BFD.

I really hate- HATE "Daylight Saving Time". I am old enough that I clearly remember when this god-forsaken demon plot from the pit of Hell was shoved up my nose.

It was the Uniform Time Act of 1966. Just when the war in Vietnam was heating up, and us young guys had nothing to look forward to but die in Nam, the government added insult to injury with the DST law.

As far as I was concerned, DST was part of a plot to destroy America. (Tongue not really in cheek). I wrote letters to the Editor of the local newspaper about it.

After the DST fascists did cram DST up our noses, I put an ad in the local paper every spring announcing that I was NOT observing DST (Tongue not really in cheek, but people thought I was being comical).

So once again, I have opportunity to say as clearly, explicitly and succinctly as possible-

I viscerally and organically hate, hate, HATE Daylight Saving Time. Just stop messing with the clocks. Leave it alone. Changing clocks back and forth is a symptom of mental illness. Good old fashioned Standard Time is- oh I dunno, STANDARD TIME, which was the original idea of good enough. If you want the official time to be an hour earlier, move 500 miles east.

So, for those wondering, 2011 Daylight Saving Time ends Sunday, Nov. 6, at 2 a.m.
