Rage, rage against the dying of daylight

USA TODAY trots out the "quaint Hoosiers" attitude we all know and love so much:

Indiana joined the rest of the nation in turning back the hands of time this morning, but the debate continues to rage in the state over just what time it should be, WTHR-TV reports.

The switch to Standard Time from Daylight Savings Time comes with barely a murmer across the USA, but in Indiana it's time for the annual argument over the state's switch from Central time to Eastern Time in 2006.

When's the last time you've actually seen a debate rage. Makes it sound like civil war time, with brother against brother and the whole state up in arms. Yeah, those backward Hoosiers. They're just so set in their ways. Can't stand change.

Crap. There are a few arguments, maybe a few more this time of year, and a couple of interest groups that try to stir things up. But, guess what? It's been five years, and most of us have moved on. Actually, once you've seen the daylight seem to last a litte longer for awhile then get yanked back to normal for a while, it's really no big thing.
