“Once again, it’s time to exercise the misguided practice of Daylight Saving Time. Originally imposed in 1918 to conserve energy for that insane slaughter and rampage known as World War 1, it was immediately dropped a year later — and by public demand. However, it was reinstated during World War 2 and practiced continuously — winter and summer. After the War, states and localities were left to themselves to decide about DST, but in 1966, it became the law of the land. In 2007, the duration of DST was extended from early March until early November — the longest it has ever been — except for the times it was yearlong.” (03/16/10)
