Time falls back- If GW can change it on a whim why do we do it?

The clocks went back last night and will go forward again in the spring.

Many reasons are cited for this strange custom which seems to be neglected in Saskatchewan. They range from:
The drive behind the switch was “to adjust daylight hours to when most people are awake and about,” Mosley said.

Taking blaming the victim to a new level – a christian perspective

I was staggered when the author extrapolated the actions of a very small minority women whose post coital regret led them to level false accusations of rape against their partners to women as a whole.
