I have a good friend who argues with passion that Daylight Savings Time, and the entire concept of our government telling us to switch our clocks is the stupidest thing we have to live with, and is proof positive that we're all a bunch of mice in a maze. It irritates him beyond belief when I argue that Daylight Savings is the single finest thing our government enacts, and that we should all change our clocks even more often just for the thrill and novelty of it.
This chilly morning, fresh back from Bonus Weekend, we strolled up to breakfast bathed in brilliant sunshine.
After lunch, I devised the perfect instrument to assess student opinion on government-mandated clock changes: I strode into the newly-painted (pistachio) pit in Maxwell Savage euphemistically known as the Day Student Lounge, and interviewed the occupants directly. There's nothing like getting to the source....the raw stuff of adolescent insight. Their responses are indicated at right.
