Day Light Savings Time

It’s Daylight Savings Time. I often wonder what fool or politician, likely same thing, thought this up. You usually hear two reasons. Firstly, it benefits the farmer who now does not have to get up in the dark to tend to the chores. Here the farmer has let down the politicians badly. After decades, they, as a group, have failed to teach the animal and plant life to tell time by the clock. They persist on arranging their days around the rising and setting of the sun. How rude!

The second reason proffered is that school children now do not have to come home from school in the dark. However, they just have to go to school in the dark. Moreover, the same politicians want the school children to spend more of their day in school. So what is the benefit exactly?

Clearly, the benefit is that the politicians can provide the illusion, or delusion, that they can control time and dole it out to their constituents as evidence of the politician’s benevolence. How do the fundamentalists square this with the belief that only God can create and bestow time? Are they blasphemers?
