If such a thing had happened in my house, it would have been tantamount to a declaration of War. No quarter, cry "havoc," scorched-earth, last-one-alive-wins, Thermonuclear &*%$ing WAR.

Of course, my parents understand that I'm willing to accept a phyrric victory, and that I'm JUST insane enough to guarantee any victory of theirs comes at a cost so high as to not make it worthwhile.

Ben Franklin was one of the first to come up with it...but I don't think he was alive when they instituted it.

I think it has something to do with when the sun rises and falls in the summer. Adding an hour to the time makes the sun rise at 6:00am here and set at 8:00pm, and setting an hour back in the winter makes the sun rise at 7:00am and fall at 6:00pm. Something like that.

In english, you don't want the sun rising at 5:00 am in the morning that it wakes you up and you become so bleary eyed to come to school/work/whatever.

I never looked forward to this time change. All it boils down to is one less hour of sleep. I LOVE it when we set our clocks back zzzzzzzz......
