Let's End The Time-Change Madness!

Once again we are "falling back" this year.
That's why you pushed your clock back one hour before you turned in last night (Did you remember?).
And this is why you will turn it ahead again in March (Don't forget!).
This also means you have to reset all of those pesky digital clocks on various devices all over your house. And, though you gained an hour of sleep, you'll lose it again in the spring.
Hey, I love DST and wish we could have it all year round - which makes this ritual even more of a nuisance. Plus, it's been estimated that it costs us $1.7 billion just to change all the clocks!
This is what happens when you let the government mess around with the time.
I have a solution for this twice-a-year time madness: Let's set the clocks behind (or ahead) one-half-hour and leave them there.
It's a permanent compromise.
For example, next March, set the clocks ahead one-half hour and that's it.
Next fall, no change.
That oughta do it, right?
