Abolish Daylight Savings Time (DST)

It's March, and here we go again with this senseless changing of the clocks. DST needs to be abolished. It accomplishes nothing but the disruption of human biological cycles. It doesn't save energy, or benefit the farmers, or any of the other myths that continue to circulate. And it doesn't make the days longer.

A day is always 24 hours in length. Yes, there is more sunlight during the spring and summer months only because the Earth is tilted on its axis with the Northern Hemisphere facing the Sun. The converse occurs during the fall and winter. It's called the change of seasons, and it all balances out in the long run. Resetting the clock has no effect whatsoever on the position of the Sun. You have merely been fooled by the government into getting up one hour earlier, which creates the illusion of a "longer day."

Standard Time is the true time, with noon recorded when the Sun appears highest in the sky, hence the term "high noon." DST is fake time, and this World War II era practice should have been scrapped decades ago.

Standard Time should be the permanent time. Those who still wish to pursue that mythical "longer day" are free to get up one hour earlier during the spring and summer. Employers could be encouraged to offer earlier starting/quitting times during these months.

Congress is responsible for this DST nonsense. Contact your representatives and tell them to put a stop to this foolishness once and for all.
