"We are no longer primarily an agrarian society, and we have electricity everywhere. Therefore, is it still feasible to utilize daylight savings time today?"
You be the judge: does America want or need daylight savings time any longer?
Inane comments, which I have heard personally, abound on this issue:
"Well, the plants and flowers would get more sunlight," reasoned a radio caller.
"DST would give us another hour of sunlight," opined a news anchor.
Geez.
We are no longer primarily an agrarian society, and we have electricity everywhere. Therefore, is it still feasible to utilize daylight savings time today?
Although I enjoy getting an extra hour of sleep in the fall, I dislike losing an hour of sleep in the spring. Granted, these are probably not intelligent reasons for doing away with DST, but they are certainly more logical than the comments given above!
What say you?
