Daylight saving time starts this weekend: But what if it's all just a waste of time? - latimes.com
Daylight saving time begins this weekend. From coast to coast, most Americans will dutifully "spring forward" by one hour early Sunday morning. We're told this helps save energy and allows us to enjoy more sunshine during the summer months.
But a number of critics say this is all a big fat waste of time. Daylight saving time does nothing but create chaos and confusion, they say, and might actually waste more energy than it tries to save. It should be abandoned immediately, they contend.
…is give one feature writer on every newspaper in the country a chance to write this very story twice a year. (And who can even imagine how many bloggers?)
I once heard a woman, being interviewed by a TV news reporter in Georgia, declare that daylight saving time should be abolished because Eastern Standard Time is God's time. So who am I to argue with that?
