FORE!: Drive away DST

Why do we disrupt our lives, twice a year, and spend or waste millions of dollars in higher energy costs, increased traffic accidents, lost productivity and taxes, not to mention the proven human costs in psychological and physiological damage, all so a bunch of guys and gals can chase a little white ball around an extra hour after work?

So the source of the trojan horse doesn’t need to be a pop-up.
