Repeal the Daylight Savings time mandate.

Created by K.S. on February 02, 2015

We ask that Daylight savings time be abolished. The hour jump does not effectively prolong the day in anyway. The human race has been able to function without it for most of it's existence on earth and it is impossible to effect a comfortable change to the human circadian rhythm with this mandate. It is a mandate based on bad science and is very disruptive to the human brain that nature itself saw fit to not change. Therefore it is not our place and we should not adjust it either. To the argument that it assists seasonal affective disorder I also offer it is not useful. If you require a lamp to help your disorder, changing the clock to "offer more daylight" is no more effective than spending an extra hour under the lamp.
