Don't forget to move the clocks forward tomorrow night. I hope they leave it DLST personally.

Ha! You 20th century cavemen still have clocks that require manual changing? Technology takes care of all that for us now.

On the subject, "they" claim that the reason behind DLST was because of some advantage to farmers. Let me stop "them" right there:
the entire PLANET has farmers. So why don't the other farmers in the rest of the world employ DLST?
Why just the farmers in America?

Did kids wait in the dark for the school bus long before they changed it?

And somehow - DLST being an American thing and all - it's RACIST!
I mean, isn't everything in America racist?
Wonder if it will have a detrimental effect on turkey hunting like the effects on deer hunting at the November change

Why "save daylight" when the days are longer?

Which industries lobby for DLST?
Golf
Picnic
Are two of the largest who initially lobbied for it but all retail actually benefits as people tend to run errands when it is light outside.

Not me. I hate when it's pitch black dark at 5:30 in the winter. It's always dark when I get up and leave in the morning, no matter what the time scheme is. It's nice to come home in the daylight, at least.

Yep, different strokes for different folks.

Farmers don`t work by a clock. They work by the seasons.

I never went to school in the dark as a kid. Never rode a school bus either. It still baffles me when I see these school buses picking up kids in the pitch black dark.

I believe the farmer angle to DLST was so there would be more daylight when the kids got out of school during planting and harvest seasons.
I much prefer the old original time, but would favor a compromise of 30 minutes instead of an hour. Typical government, messing things up.

I was BAMBOOZLED! I bought into the Ben Franklin hype when I was younger, and never did my own research.
Benjamin Franklin, the Father of DST?
Many sources also credit Benjamin Franklin for being the first to suggest seasonal time change. However, the idea voiced by the American inventor and politician in 1784 can hardly be described as fundamental for the development of modern DST. After all, it did not even involve turning the clocks. In a letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris, entitled “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light,” Franklin simply suggested that Parisians could economize candle usage by getting people out of bed earlier in the morning. What's more: Franklin meant it as a joke.
The History of Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is used to save energy and make better use of daylight. It was first used in 1914 in Regina, Canada.
