Next We Have...
Like most "holidays" that you Celebrate...Daylight Savings time should be on that "holiday" list.
Why?
It's total nonsense..as are Most Holidays...That's why!
WHEN THRIFTY Benjamin Franklin spotted a chance to save precious tallow, he didn't hesitate to pipe up.(and, we're not talkin' tabacco)
Franklin suggested that people adjust their sleep schedules in the summer months to enjoy the "economy of using sunshine rather than candles." He jokingly proposed firing cannons to wake people at dawn and imposing a tax on window shutters that keep out sunlight. (funny guy,huh?)
If only there was a mandate requiring: that anyone in public office must "pipe up," before making any life changing decisions.. we'd all be in the land of OZ or Wonderland!
One thing for sure.... It would be a lot more fun!
Cutting energy consumption--whether because of wartime shortages, oil embargoes, or global warming, has always been the justification for the abuse of American sleep schedules. But a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research, finds that daylight saving time, actually increases demand for energy.
The paper, by the economist Michael J. Kotchen and the environmental scientist Laura E. Grant, takes advantage of a natural experiment in Indiana.
The state use to harbor several counties in open rebellion against daylight saving time,
but that came to an end in 2006, when a federal mandate forced the counties to fall into line.
Kotchen and Grant estimate that the change cost $9 million a year in higher electricity bills and $1.7 million to $5.5 million a year in pollution emissions.
They say the effect is likely to be stronger in other, less temperate parts of the United States.
A federal Mandate?
Are these people completely out of their minds?
Of course not! They're just looking out for their own personal selfish interests......MONEY! (which, by the way...comes out of your pockets!)
So,In the tradition, that has made this country the greatest place on the planet....
HAPPY DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME (the winter edition)
Daylight Savings Time
This has got to be one of the all time greatest marketing hypes...ever!
It's the one day out of the entire year...you should ignore. PERIOD!
If you're not telling your mate...EVERYDAY, that you love Him/Her...
Valentines Day is a day to start packing!
Every day that you give each other "anything"....is a special day!
Ahh, but, the machine has you so programmed, that you're made to feel guilty if you don't comply and BUY something!
Wake up! You don't have to stuff the pockets of the greedy sales machine.
Oh, what's the use! This day is so utterly ridicules, it doesn't warrant a good rant!
On the bright side....it's the one day,at least,
that you're sure to have a little roll in the hay, hey?
BUT WAIT!
Valentines day might actually be one of the most religious days of the year....
All that rollin' in the hay, adds up to a lot of praying.
(Oh God...OOH GOD.....Oh Jesus..... and so on!
Can I have an AMEN? Right on!
Yeah! It's a happy day! (I'll give you that!)
VALENTINE'S DAY
