Shorter Days


As the year progresses into fall and winter, I am becoming increasingly annoyed with the lesser amount of our daylight. Whereas a few months ago, daybreak would be before 5 AM, now it is after 6 AM. Why can’t our government and the EPA do something about this? If we can send a man to the moon, we should be able to remedy this simple problem. Can we put a tax on darkness so that there is less of it? Perhaps we can convene a Paris conference to bring all nations together to decide how the United States is going to save our daylight? What does Daddy Barack Obama, Uncle Joe Biden and Auntie Elizabeth have to say about this scourge?

We need to educate our children about the penalties derived from shorter days! Less play time.... more meager crops. We need our kids to march on Washington with their teachers to demand that Trump do something about things. He has promised other stuff, so why is he conspiring to make us have less daylight? Can’t he use some of his billions to make to sun come up and go down when we want it to? Any reasonable cost-benefit analysis would suggest that, if it even sends our nation trillions of dollars further into debt, it would be worth it. It would treat us and the rest of the world to benefits beyond the debt we incurred.

Those opposed to increasing our daylight claim that is is due to the tilt of the Earth causing our seasons. Balderdash! This is all conservative propaganda! 98% of scientists say that, if this were  man-made ... it can be man-corrected. It is well beyond time we need to save all the birds who die flying south in the fall to stay warm. SAVE THE BIRDS!

Are you listening Al Gore? Time to step up again and save personkind!

Move to the equator. Or have one home as far north as you can handle and another home as far south as you handle. Move between them on the equinox.

If I keep moving back and forth, think of all the fossil fuel I would be using ...

You would have to sail then. Boston to Argentina.
