That's from PostSecret.
For thoughtful sorts who like a little reasoning to go with their instinctive hatreds, here's Ryan Sager from True/Slant, making a shocking amount of sense.
I'll just mention his first of ten reasons to dump daylight savings time:
Daylight Saving Time (DST) was sold as an energy-saving measure. But it doesn’t save energy. The results of a natural experiment in Indiana (where the state was moved onto DST by a change in the law in 2006) showed that DST actually increased residential energy demand by 1% overall — and by 2%-4% in October.
If you need more, take a look at his other arguments.
But if you ask me, put simply and factually, Daylight Savings Time is an Orwellian exercise in hubris.
It's the all-powerful us attempting to control time, and promising to exercise this power solely for good.
But regardless of our intentions, the claim that we have the power to make time run backwards is absurd. Preposterous, Ridiculous. Deserving of mockery.
We keep our promises small, regarding the reversal of time, and so think we have gotten away with it, but small absurdities, like small mistakes in arithmetic, remain mistakes.
Daylight Savings Time is nonsense, plain and simple.
What additional argument is required?
