Why did Congress length Daylight savings time? Was it some weird gesture about saving energy?
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes.
They had to have something about saving energy in that massive energy bill that gave tens of billions of dollars of tax breaks to oil companies, who are currently suffering under record profits....

not sure. Is the US the only country that does this?

Other countries have daylight saving time. Canada said that they'd follow the US changes, IIRC.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I don't understand how extending daylight savings time saves energy. I mean, no matter when the hours are, it is still light the same number of hours, right? And when it is not light, we turn the lights on, whether it is in the evening or the morning, right? So how am I saving energy by not turning my lights on at 6 am, but having to turn them on at 6pm instead of 7 pm? Or am I just a dunce?

Ah. I guess it would be very confusing if others didn't do it, too.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I think the whole "extend Daylight Savings Time" is meant to encourage people to get up in the morning while it is effing dark, so that they may commute at night in the dusk. Needless to say, I am not a fan, as I need that morning daylight in order to give a shit about the day.
Scooter, Scooter, Scooter. Be glad you are not a Roman, or else you would be falling on a sword, and not in a funny 11th grade play way. Instead, you'll get a book contract and an offer at an impregnable ideologue think tank! This is actually a step up for you.
