Boy are these guys rocket scientists or what? Let’s see, DST is during the summer months so the days are LONGER. i.e., Robbery–less darkness–fewer events.
Hot off the press InsGuy. On Townhall, there is a warning from our wonderful Energy Dept who wants to put a damper on Halloween. They are warning that buying pumpkins and making a Jack O Lantern will cause Global Warming because it gives off methane and harmful to the environment. Maybe we should not make pumpkin pies as well. Just have some pumpkin flavored cold Tofu and that should do the trick. You know what, our government is totally out of control. Back in the summer, the EPA wanted to ban outdoor Bar B Q’s for similar reasons. Welcome to the Democratic Socialist Republic.
Please make sure you keep the context when you post summations like this.
“Most of the 1.3 billion pounds of pumpkins produced in the U.S. end up in the trash…becoming part of…municipal solid waste…[which] decomposes into methane, a harmful greenhouse gas that plays a part in climate change”
So to reset: Pumpkins themselves are not the issue. People tossing pumpkins into the trash and letting them decompose plays a part in increasing methane, which is bad.
You sure like to complain a lot, agent. As Rosenblatt pointed out, simply tossing pumpkins is the issue, and using the leftover pumpkin pulp (and toasting the seeds) will reduce the methane output.
Similarly, charcoal barbeque users (and I’m a dedicated charcoal man) can significantly reduce their footprint by using a charcoal chimney instead of lighter fluid, and by using natural lump charcoal instead of the processed kind. The food will taste better to boot.
Better to light a single candle than curse the darkness, eh old man?
In other news, the College Accreditation/Ranking society just noted a significant drop in the ranking for Cornell University. Sources, who requested to remain anonymous, noted the number of studies published that falling into the DUH! category.
Yes, and the weatherman constantly cautions us that we need to be safe when driving because the streets are wet from rain. That is called dumbing down the society. I guess they need to say something for the cell addict crowd who text and drive when it is raining.
Wish it could be year round, then crime would really be reduced.
i agree with Bill. Can’t this be the last time we mess with the clocks? The whole purpose of Daylight Savings Time is antiquated anyway.
I wonder how much these people were paid to do this study. I should apply for a grant and make some study money.
Move to Arizona! No Change here

Good grief.

So crime rates are higher at night than during daylight? You could knock me over with a feather!
