Get Your Hoe Ready!

I have a theory. Whoever came up with the concept of Daylight Savings Time was:

1) A morning person
2) Unemployed
3) Sadistic

Am I the only person who responds to sunlight stimulation in the morning to get me going? Getting up when it's still pitch black can be natural, can it? And what about kids who have to wait outside for their school bus in the mornings...IN THE DARK? Is anyone concerned about their safety?

Apparently nobody took these factors into concern when making this weird decision. Nobody except for Arizona and Hawaii who proudly denounce DST, making it even more complicated when you're communicating with or visiting one of those two states.

Wouldn't it benefit the workforce more if people were actually awake when going to work in the morning? Wouldn't that help reduce accidents in the morning as well? And perhaps get people to work on time more often? With the sagging economy (thanks, George!), these are things to consider...
