Daylight Savings

Daylight savings is quite incredible. When you think about it, it is one of the only things society does as a whole. This morning everyone turned there clock one hour forward and just accepted the fact that everyone else will do it to. I mean, what if it was when you set your clock and hour back, and you forgot to do it but you had a flight to catch, you would miss your flight. Setting everyone off by and hour could have very terrible unintended consequences. You think with something this important there would be more public services announcements. Today for instant, my nana forgot to change her watch and all of a sudden she had missed the Sunday breakfast of waffles with whipped cream and berries. This may not seem a big deal to come people but to and 80 year old women who looks forward to Sunday brunch at the lodge, it is a big deal! Or what about school? If some poor kid didn't set his watch forward, then he gets to school and hour early, no one is there and then his teacher finds him and says "my you are an excellent student coming to school and hour before everyone else!" then the kid becomes the teachers pet which of course leads to bullying, especially if you are in grade 10, and bullying leads to poor little depressed grade 10's and it just goes on. To think, all this because of daylight savings.
