Matter of Time

We've been following The Way of Abba and writing in the name of Lloyd Nelson since the beginning.

We're rolling forward NOW into the New World, comparing two bodies of research.
  1. SPRING FORWARD (Michael Downing)
  2. SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN (Vol. 21, No. 1, Spring 2012, pp. 48-49)
The first is an excellent example of the conclusions drawn by the second.  The way we keep time reflects our priorities -- even the way we view the world.  If this is true, then spending time and attention on Daylight Saving reflects U.S. cultural priorities to be imposing our power and making money.
