Ok- we're suppose to turn the clock back one hour tomorrow. For what reason? This is not the 1800s. We should establish Daylight's Saving Time as the official time standard. Why have sun rise at 6:00 in morning and sun fall by 4:30? We should adjust time standards to meet current needs. I'd rather go to work in dark and have more daylight at days' end.

kids going to school, waiting for the bus, safety, stuff like that.

This was GW's grand energy saving initiative. More progressive, modern thinking from the Republicans.

Ok - No offense, the same kids going to school were already going to the bus stop in dark at this point. The daylight was only visible around 7:00. In other words, I think it is more hazardous for Rush Hour to occur in the dark in the late afternoon

....not mad on it ... that extra hour of sun-light fades me curtains...

that's because 3/4 of the people on the road are @#$%&. @#$%& 'em. save the children.

Daylight Savings works well in Australia, for us its great, go to the beach after work, play sport, go out, stuff like that but if you are a Vampire and hate the sun, climb into you coffin and dream of the Dark Ages. Farmers hate it of course but they hate everything.

you have no clue what you are talking about. all GW did was move the dates of turning the clocks back or forward. before GW you turned the clocks back the last weekend in october and he changed it to the 1st weekend in november. i think in spring you change the clock 1 week earlier now too.

I believe it is you who is sans clues. At the time, adding the extra weeks was heavily touted as a huge savings in energy. This in lieu of research into alternative energy sources, etc. In other words, nothing that would get in the way of the obscene profits of the oil conglomerates. Better put the blinders back on now.

did you even research daylight savings time? when it was first proposed decades ago energy saving was one of the many supposed benefits of it. GW changed the time because he said it would actually save us money of our heating and power bills and studies shows it did reduce power and heating bills but the study was inconclusive because weather is never a constant.


bte i love all the jobs obama has created with his alternative energy sources. wasn't that one of his big platforms?

Are there Pelicans in Australia?.....YEP!!! we got 'em

from Google -

The Australian Pelican is a large waterbird of the family Pelecanidae, widespread on the inland and coastal waters of Australia and New Guinea, also in Fiji, parts of Indonesia and as a vagrant to New Zealand. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Pelecanus conspicillatus

As a matter of fact it's the summer time which is artificial that's why during the summer we have longer evenings. Now we're going back to the standard time, which is doom and gloom...

Daylights' Standard Time should be offialized.

Was just pointing out the whole concept of manipulating the clock is dumb. We get locked into a lot of stupid stuff because of 200+ year old (in some cases) logic. I'm not going to even open up the can of worms I'm thinking of because I'm not up to fighting today.

But that would simply mean moving one time zone ahead... And I don't know if this move would be appreciated everywhere. Belarus did it a couple of years ago and now in the December sun rises there at 9:30 AM.

Peace? It's NFL day & I'm not well. Sorry I made comment. Really stupid issue to argue about. I'm sure we'll clash on something more meaningful at some point.

First day is not so bad, it's the rest of the week that's hard, until your internal clock gets used to it. Everyone will complain at work for a few days, then most people won't think about it till it comes around again.

In the meantime, I sure enjoyed sleeping for an extra hour this morning...it's tomorrow morning that's going to be a bitch.
