Daylight Savings Time 2010: Time Change Fall (Canada & US)
Daylight Savings Time 2010: Time Change Fall (Canada & US) – Every six months, the time changes and every six months the same question pops up – do we get one more or one less hour of sleep?
On Sunday, November 7, 2010 at at 7.30 PM IST (6 AM EST) all the clocks will need to fall back again to Standard Time also known as winter time which means you will have an extra 60 minutes of sleep or partying.
But have you ever wondered why do we change the time every 6 months?
The concept of summer time and winter time was introduced in 1975. At the time, the world had just survived the first oil crisis in history.
That is when it was decided to adjust the time once a year for the countries that are in different time zones in order to use less energy.
The decision was a wise one seeing that it is more convenient to have office hours between the rising and setting sun. At the time, the system had been encouraged by the Agency for Environment and Energy Management (ADEME).

Keep the Obamanation adds off your pages. He’s a socialist bastard and a liar.
Nick Jeffrey, you my friend are a confused man, you need help. Posting anti-president rhetoric on an article concerning Daylight Savings? C’mon dude, you suck.
Dear Adam,
You are very nasty to Nick, he just ask the site not to accept adds from the thief-in-chief, that takes money from the masses and send it to his friend. You should return the bribe.
nick and pieoc u both have been in your meth labs too. dont get high on ur own supply. I c the incest is string and alive n u 2 . or was their a azzhole conventions n town..
Nick,
As stated earlier, this was an article about Daylight Savings Time. This had nothing to do with the President. If you and your kind are the alternative for those qualified to run the country, we have a big problem. This is what happens when people don’t go to college! You are unable to comprehend news stories and articles.
Way to go!
Dear Dr. Pam W.
Be nice to Nick, he just ask the site not to accept adds from the College-Chief-of-Thiefs, that takes money from the Masses and send it to his Learned Friends. Did you go to college to learn how to embezzle?
I’m sorry…you paid all that money to go to college and you still can’t dicern truth from fiction! You do know that you can’t believe EVERYTHING you hear on TV…right???
Qualified, Really? this is what happens to A country when college idiots are running it!you liberal morons scare and disgust me.Maybe you can try to find a new college that teaches common sense and also a thing or two about the constitution!!!
Dear Nick,
Are you holding back in your opinions of the Supreme Thief?
Why not opening up and say he was not “duly” elected because:
1. He went to court numerous time to avoid showing his “qualifications”.
2. Election Fraud: Founding sources undisclosed.
3. Election Lies: He lamented numerous problems with the implied notion he was going to fix them: not so, it was just a lamentation list.
4. Election Bribes: He received votes from people that would receive a payback.
And what about the ongoing embezzlement from the masses and redirection to his circle of friends?
Ciao
To Mr. Jeffrey: Whatever your opinions and beliefs, President Obama was duly elected and deserves to be treated with respect and not offensive names. I hope you can make your points without resorting to such vicious words.
Dear Julie K,
Your point would be correct if the president was “duly” elected, but here are some issues:
1. He went to court numerous time to avoid showing his “qualifications”.
2. Election Fraud: Founding sources undisclosed.
3. Election Lies: He lamented numerous problems with the implied notion he was going to fix them: not so, it was just a lamentation list.
4. Election Bribes: He received votes from people that would receive a payback.
So if duly elected then why cant he just let us see his birth certificate?
Why does Canada always have to copy the US.
Pieroc:
you forgot one…
5. His American citizenship cannot be proved!
Daylight Savings Time started in the U.S. in 1966, not 1975.
You all, left, right, teabagger, social conservative or progressive are feeling the same noose on your neck and you must have forgotten that this fabulous bank deregulation and business “free market” capitalism started 106 years ago when TR broke up the trusts and ever since then the corporate culture has been re-stealing the economy.
The president even if it’s can’t properly pronounce nuclear W or Mr. Eloquent Obama has nothing to do with why you are being lynched. Willie Sutton said he robbed banks because that’s where the money is…now substitute corporacracy for Willie Sutton and banks for your savings accounts no matter what form they take.
It’s the corporate culture stupid.
About daylight savings time: It was established in the US in 1918, when we were in World War I. It allowed extra light for people to work in their Victory Gardens in the evenings. Germany and its allies had already started to use it, probably for more day light for bombing missions. Now, that is something to think about.
Plea for sanity!
come on people!!! if ya want to argue about politics on a thread about daylight savings time, you both must be fairly dense. go someplace else to argue!!! the nation just went through 6 months of lies and arguments listening to crooked electees . GIVE IT A REST….
