Celebrate Today's Day, Time, and Government Regulation!

Don't let it bother you that Arizona, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, among others, are left out of the fuss. It's only good we are prodded to awake an hour earlier-- required to change our schedules accordingly OR ELSE-- all for the sake of light shifting!

A bright concept really, because we enjoy light.

Don't be confused, our leaders know what's best. Obviously, Bush's Energy Policy Act of 2005 knows what we want SO WELL that it requires us to enjoy this "loss of hour" phenomenon in 2007 almost a WHOLE MONTH earlier than previous years. But it's OKAY this change will be open to being CHANGED again at whim once the policy's studies are complete.

Don't blink twice, the government isn't rubbing their eyes. After all, their snooze button isn't funded with OUR money. In fact, they know we're not really saving anything...it's modifying and they will gladly tell us how to do it. In case you didn't know, precisely, last night time didn't fleet away on the strike of Monday morning. No, no, it was only at 2am that time really became what it is NOW in all its brightness. Oh, and don't forget each of the five time zones must change their time at different times because that's "practical and minimizes disruption." The 2am rule also means we know our day will never suddenly become yesterday since that would be SO CLEAR in our minds. Nevermind the European Union thinks it's cool in contrast to change all time at THE SAME TIME.

Lastly, get your terminology straight. When it comes to "Daylight Saving Time" don't be caught on the streets saying "savings" with an 'S'. It's widely known that Daylight Saving's Time with an 'S' is politically inferior even though it kind of flows better than what we should be calling it.

Finally, remember this: there is nothing less exciting than knowing it's all up to the government anyway.
