Totally not worth the hassle

 My own objection to Daylight Saving Time derives from personal laziness: it’s annoying to change clocks, especially the digital ones that require an arcane sequence of key presses I can never quite remember. 

Ditto with the car clocks. I always decide to adjust them while driving, and it’s only a matter of time before this results in some damage. 

Other than that, I guess I don’t care. On my relaxed work schedule, I wake up when I feel like it regardless of The Man’s rules on saving or squandering daylight. The sun isn’t changing position, so why should I?  As a wise man once said, “’I’m as free as a bird now, and this bird you cannot change.”

 Still, I recognize that some people do have regular jobs. If I were among them, I’d probably have certain questions. Such as: Why? Why must we disrupt the sleep patterns of hard-working Americans twice a year? Resetting a clock is not the same as resetting a brain. It takes some time to adjust, which is why accidents (see above), heart attacks and strokes all trend higher following the time change.

On the other hand, the kids have more daylight for trick-or-treating. So I guess it’s a small price to pay.
