After
the past few years of campaigns for the presidency, politicians
take a brief respite to do their semi-annual battle with Mother
Nature. This weekend is the beginning of Daylight Saving Time.
None of us has ever
seen a clock that actually controls sunlight, but politicians
believe there is one - somewhere - that can do it. Twice a year,
they ask us to join them and drink the sunlight kool aid and
magic will happen. Saturday night, just move your clock ahead
one hour, go to bed, and when you wake up there will be more sun
during the day.
Obviously there are a
number of gullible believers, because they are the ones who keep
re-electing these snake oil salesmen. Also obvious is that
Mother Nature continues to defy them and cheerfully raises and
lowers the sun on her same schedule as she has since before
anyone of us was born.
I am surprised that the
climate folks have not taken up the banner as that extra hour of
daylight in every village, city, and town across the whole globe
surely is enough to raise the temperature higher and contribute
to even faster and more precipitous global warming.
The other bad news this year is that it
provides an extra hour for the ( COVID-19) corona virus to
spread.
The solution, wait
until election day, vote for someone else, tell the politicians
to go to bed, and tomorrow they will no longer need to worry
about too much sunshine, warming, or virus.
