To Dave, RE: Abolishing DST
I am standing by your cause to abolish DST.
Tomorrow, I will not set my clock back.
I'll be early for college on Monday, get confused and go home, but who cares? I've got an A in the class, I can afford losing a few attendance points.:D
So who else is joining the cause?
EDIT: Wow, here's some good anti-DST propaganda, too! http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/11/03/time.change.ap/index.html

This argument makes no sense. Either that, or it's worded in such a way that it makes my brain explode. I'll restate your argument.
If I want to not use DST, I should not refuse to set my clock back.
But if I don't refuse to set my clock back, then I am not refusing.
If I am not refusing, then I am conforming.
Therefore I am using DST.
Seems like a fallacy. Although, this kind of thing falls under the whole "With us or against us" thing.
My argument: (in the nice Modus Ponens form)
If I want to not use DST, I should refuse to set my clock back.
I refuse to set my clock back.
Therefore: I am refusing to use DST.
Or.... just move to Arizona, Hawaii, or some other state that doesn't use daylight savings time.
My bad, sorry about that.
Still, it was a good argument, right?
