As a parent of young children, we dread changing the clocks & curse the evil people who came up with this terrible idea.

If Dante's Inferno were to be written today, their would be a 10th Circle for those who came up with daylight savings time. It would involve the sound of screaming children, important appointments & clocks that change at random.

The people who came up with it were people living in more agrarian times, when your kids wouldn't be screaming, they'd be up watering the chickens and helping you out around the farm before day-break no matter what the hour of the day.
