Ending Daylight Savings

[Dutch Uncle]

No one is talking about China here (except you).

Get a clue, Sybil.

They have kept DST in place in the past during energy crunches.

And there has been talk of keeping it going as far back as the 70s.

I think the origins had something to do with farmers.

Nope. It was first implemented as an energy saving measure in WW1.
It wasn't until the 1960's that it was implemented as a regular event.

Doesn't make sense for Hawaii, for example. They are on the tropic line. BTW, it IS a national discussion. This is about the law in place at the federal level.

I approve of that, but for years states have been talking about doing this on a state level.

No.

 

[Into the Night]

The organized militia has literal recourse to our Second Amendment when keeping and bearing Arms for their State or the Union.

So do the people. What has this got do with daylight savings time?

 

[Into the Night]

I actually have a Twitter friend threatening not to vote in the midterms if this passes. I just can't imagine getting so passionate about this, for or against.

Have they invoked Hitler yet? D:

 

[Into the Night]

I read experts think standard time is better than DST for health reasons.

'Expert' worship. Void reference fallacy.

Stupid worship. Fucking moronic.

Get a clue, Sybil.

About what? YOU are the only trying to talk about China here.

 

[Stringfellow Hawk]

one of the few times I agree with Jarod, one or the other, just not both

 

[Dutch Uncle]

It's okay to be slow, Sybil, but you hurt yourself when you leap to conclusions.

No, they don't.

I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials."

Second Amendment is clear that it is a well regulated militia that is necessary to the security of our free State(s, or the Union).

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The defense and protection of the state and of the United States is an obligation of all persons within the state. The legislature shall provide for the discharge of this obligation and for the maintenance and regulation of an organized militia.

The unorganized militia of the individuals of the people are subject to the police power of their State (or the Union).

Subject only to the police power, the right of the individual citizen to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Illinois State Constitution)

Still can't see the word 'people' in what you quote. Are you blind in the right eye?

Nah. It's gotta be both eyes. You apparently can't see the title of this thread.

Your attempted thread hijack ends here.

Your attempted thread hijack ends here.

Your ignorance of the context of the argument is a worthless attempt to hijack the thread by attempting to appeal to ignorance of express law.
