Day Light Savings

04/20/2006 9:03 AM

Light Saving or Daylight Saving is practiced all over the world except a few countries, and it has no logic, in my view.
In the past, all countries had a similar practice:
[1] Permanent Winter and Summer Schedules of working hours, or
[2] Issue Winter and Summer schedules of working hours once a year.
Now, in the new setup all you have to do is change clocks [PCs are programmed for change but without your knowledge] twice a year. Changing of clocks is only a fake action otherwise "IT IS HUMAN TO ADJUST FOR CHANGE".
Does anybody clearly know exactly how to refer to the time of the "25th hour" of the day on which you go to "Light-Saving"? How are all the happenings recorded in logs of all departments like police, telephone companies, post, travel, health, justice and all that?

Daylight Savings

04/21/2006 1:29 AM

Fire and Police departments log it as usual the only differnace in the logging is that there is a master number in the data for each call. If you think about who cares what time something happened such as in a lawsuit the only measurement of time is the differance between when something happened so the logs will show the arrival of a unit and leaving of a unit may show a negative but really who cares as long as it is logged.

Conspiracy?

04/21/2006 8:18 AM

It is all a conspiracy formulated by the governments, but there is a mystery unsolved.

Think about all the people that die after the clocks have been advanced one hour. These people have been cheated out of one hour of their lives. Millions have died this way and governments have accrued millions of hours, but what are they doing with all this accrued time? Clearly, this is one of the darkest secrets of humanity.

Pssst, "the eagle flies from belfry to belfry."

Interesting perspective, and I suppose the government really is controlling our weather by means of a giant radio array in Alaska too.....

Daylight Savings

04/21/2006 10:15 AM

There are two ways to look at this issue. 1. Before daylight savings, as the days grew shorter, children standing out early to wait on a school bus were at a greater risk of being hit by passing motorists as the days went by. 2. Golfers have more time in the summer to get 18 holes in after lunch. I prefer to be accepting of the changes for the sake of the kids but I still have a tendency to blame the businessmen type golfers.
