Savings, Shavings, Smavings

[madshutterbug]

I absolutely despise the entire concept of Daylight Savings Time. Perhaps I'm the only one in the world that holds this position. I see it as an incredible waste of effort and time, because we really aren't saving anything. Neither time, nor daylight, nor energy.

It is also a symbol of human arrogance; a statement that Humans control the universe. Right. One of the most extreme of these statements is the historical fact that Great Britain went onto (and maintained, year round, IIRC) double-daylight savings time during the Second World War in order to be an hour ahead of Germany.

Bah. Humbug.

The bloody stooopid Two-Legs don't come out to feed us when we're hungry! We stand there and call for them and call for them and call for them because we're hungry, and they don't come out. One day they come out when we're hungry, and the next day they don't come out.
