I like DST. I enjoy walks in the late afternoon. Good for the digestion. So I was concerned to read this in an e-mail forwarded to me today:
… Daylight Saving Time (DST) will be springing a bit further this year. Back in 2005, Congress enacted the Energy Policy Act, which will extend DST by one month – beginning earlier in the spring and lasting later into the fall – beginning on March 11th and ending on November 4th.
Originally the bill was written to extend Daylight Saving by two months, but some very verbal opponents fought the change. Farmers say that DST has a negative impact on their livestock in general – as it is tough for them to adapt to the time change, and they therefore produce less milk, eggs, etc.
Oh, I have the perfect solution to this problem! Take the clocks out of the barn and the pasture, Homer. And when the cows and chickens get close, put your Timex in your pocket. I mean seriously, how do the livestock know that we’ve changed our clocks? Poor little morons.
Metaphor 
I think this is one of those human stupidities in that the farmers probably go by the clock when they get up to feed the chickens and milk the cows, or it may be on a timer on the big Ag factories making the animals biologically disrupted with no chance to override like some of us humans can. Is it called Being-Jerked- Around? No living thing does well when you jerk it out of the Tao,tho I can't see milking cows isanywhere near the Tao.
How do the cows know? They have brains. I want to know how the SUN knows!!!
