Just Government Gas. All of it. They have no idea what they are doing. Buffoons and fools, all of them. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :lol:

Exactly. If one hour is great wouldn't two save even more? Not to mention the carnage on the roads increases by 10% until everyone gets used to the change. The flip side also is that people stay out later driving and burning gasoline when it stays light out.

And another thing, why change it back in the fall? Why not just leave it? We are governed by morons.
The argument for not changing it back in the fall was that parents complaint it was dark when their kids left for school making it unsafe.

Oh... ops: I was way way off. It's a little hard to make out once it's resized down to the avatar size. But know that I know, I won't make that mistake again!

Frosty... Bah! Can you tell I have kids. :lol:
