An excellent couple of blog posts from Lew Rockwell. I agree wholeheartedly (natually
), and would add that we need to stop this US government idiocy right along with all the rest.

The Clock Denationalized (Temporarily)

How wonderful for an early riser to have the former War Savings Time ended, at least for a while, and the clock returned to normal. This totalitarian intervention began in 1917 for Wilson's war. Thanks to popular opposition, Congress repealed it in 1919 over Woodrow's veto, but as you might guess, FDR brought it back for his war, and today, we think nothing of the leviathan state handing down its time edict twice a year.

Writes C.J. Watson: "Oh, Lew, I agree. It has been heavenly since the clock got turned back to real time again. I'm also an early riser. The past two days have seemed so long and full of hours to get things done in, although I guess it's just a placebo effect.
