Dude wtf the goverment controls time? WTF fuck the stupid fucking goverment, fuck bush, fuck fuck fuck lol. I mean this whole thing doesnt really bother me, but just the fact the goverment can control time and shit, that pisses me off.

Who else should control time? Before the railroads, most every place had its own version of what time it was - that just doesn't work well for a global world.

At one time the railroads (big business) controlled time - not sure that's a good idea ... big business might get some braindead idea of reducing the day to like 20 hours by making each hour longer while still expecting folks to work for the same pay and/or perhaps squeeze in a 13th month so the various utilities, landlords, etc can extract another month of revenue from folks, but I digress.

I think it's a good idea myself. In the long run it will help to combat the rising cost of energy by reducing total consumption.

It actually sucks. Instead of doing something about the exponentially rising energy costs, the government just decides to change the clock. That's really ridiculous. But of course, governments are all about the quick easy solution instead of going to the root of the problem...

The government doesn't really control energy costs. Ultimately, WE do. We control them every time we leave a light on we don't need. We control them every time we use an electric can opener instead of a manual one. We control them every time we drive to the store when we could just as easily walk. This is the price of convenience.
