foraker Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 When you have control of the Legislative and Executive branches of government, the least you could do is pass an energy bill that makes sense. Talk about having no cojones to do something bold but yet being able to give away billions of dollars. Pure genius guys. I guess there's no doubt left who owns you all. Just, please, don't say you did it 'for the children'. Quote
thelawgoddess Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 do you really hate daylight savings time that much? Quote
murraysovereign Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 do you really hate daylight savings time that much? Instead of changing the dates for the beginning and end of daylight savings, why don't they just extend summer by adding an extra month in the middle? Because, really, who wants longer days in October - aren't they long enough already? But a whole new month between July and August would be awesome! And if it's supposed to be about saving energy, just declare the whole month a statutory holiday so no-one will do any work at all. Think how much energy that could save. And politically popular? Are you kidding? Quote
olyclimber Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 My idea for saving energy was to double the length of an hour to be 120 minutes. That way there would on 12 hours in a day, and that would make for shorter nights, so we would use less energy lighting up things. Quote
Dechristo Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 do you really hate daylight savings time that much? We've had Daylight Savings Time since when? Woodrow Wilson? You ask the government where they've been storing the saved daylight and you only get a stupored look from 'em. I think they've been spending it on the sly all along. Time to elect an administration that will put the saved daylight in a lock-box. Quote
Chaps Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Smart guy, the only way we are going to make this daylight savings time work for us is if we gamble it in the stockmarket. Quote
archenemy Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Personal responsibility in an ownership society. We should each invest our own daylight savings. Quote
Dechristo Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Privatization of personal daylight savings will leave us irresponsible types in the dark. Did someone turn the lights off? Quote
graupel Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 Privatization of personal daylight savings will leave us irresponsible types in the dark. Did someone turn the lights off? It is just the dim bulb that has been in the White House for 5 years. This "energy bill" and the omibus bill from last November were just opportunities to stuff as much pork into that sausage as possible. More tax breaks for industry! Quote
