This morning though I usually listen to Thom Hartmann the car radio was on KGO instead and Ronn Owen's had Michael Downing, a Tufts university professor who has written a book on the subject of Daylight Saving Time called "Spring Forward." Guess who is the biggest supporter of DST? The Chamber of Commerce because their studies show that given the extra daylight hour people are inclined to shop rather than that go straight home after work. Who would have thunk it in the land of money worshiping? http://michaeldowningbooks.com/downing-books-spring.htm http://michaeldowningbooks.com/blog/2010/03/rachel_maddow_loves_daylight_s.html
