I
interrupt this blogging of “Why Sogwa should be President” to (once again) ride
a favorite hobbyhorse of mine; the absurdity and unhealthiness of Daylight
Savings Time.
Once again the State officiously
interferes with the clock, and with people's sleep cycles. Once again, just like half a year
ago, the entire country suffers from an hour's worth of jet-lag. Once again
there will be a spike in illness and accidents.
Sogwa
herself, campaigning on a platform of realism, would certainly not approve of
this interference with measurement.
“Fall
back” is a lesser evil than “Spring forward”; it allows one day of sleeping-in;
but a day later you’re back to normal, and that’s that. At least I no longer
have to wake up to pitch black. But even so, it’s artificial jet-lag.
And
for what? To “save daylight”? What utter nonsense. Is evening self more
important than morning self?
Abolish
Daylight Savings Time!
