Although the theory of daylight-saving dates back to Benjamin Franklin, it was first used by Germany and Austria in April 1916 to conserve energy during World War I. The U.S. adopted it in March 1918, but repealed it a year later because the measure wasn't popular with rural America. Daylight-saving time was readopted from 1942 to 1945 in the U.S., where it was call called "War Time." From then until 1966, when Congress attempted to standardized its use, some states used it and others didn't.

so nobody told these idiots the war is over?

honestly.. do we even need Daylight savings anymore?

It used to be for the farmers and whatnot.. but i don't think it really matters anymore.

besides.. WHY change it? It's not that bad, it's not causing any problems is it? Why 'fix' something if it's not broken?

Nah you must not been around many farms. You get up way before dawn (3-4ish), lunch is your big meal and your in the sack by or before sundown.
Time is irrelevant for the most part.
