its not about voodoo jerry... its about "saving energy" :lol:
here are a couple quotes
http://www.energy.ca.gov
"
One of the biggest reasons we change our clocks to Daylight Saving Time (DST) is that it saves energy. Energy use and the demand for electricity for lighting our homes is directly connected to when we go to bed and when we get up. Bedtime for most of us is late evening through the year. When we go to bed, we turn off the lights and TV."
"
Daylight Saving Time "makes" the sun "set" one hour later and therefore reduces the period between sunset and bedtime by one hour. This means that less electricity would be used for lighting and appliances late in the day."
if thats the case why dont they just make time go forward several hours so we're going to bed right when it starts getting dark so we don't use any lighting at all :lol:
silly goverment, i love how they can just snap their fingers and "poof" we move forward or backwards in time... im pretty sure they got this idea from superman and his imfamous turning back time/spinning around the earth stunt :lol:
