Arizona and Hawaii are only logical states in US

Well, this last weekend, 48 of the 50 United States went nuts. The thing is, they do it every six months. They decide to arbitrarily set their clocks forward one hour to put them all off kilter, then six months later they decide to move it back because they don't like it. But then six months after that they do it again. Is this nuts or what?

I used to be forced into this society-wide insanity myself when I was growing up in California. But then I got smart and moved to Arizona, which has enough sense to leave our clocks where they are supposed to be year round. Apparently Hawaii is the only other full state with this much common sense as well. (Other US islands that are territories, but not states, also follow our example).

Those of you who have been duped into thinking this practice actually makes sense may want to take a look at this article:

I dont mind it in summer, but at this time of year we are getting up in the dark and wishing they would change it back.
 
I hate day lights saving time!! I have to wake up for school at 5:30am and now that's an hour later!! My main problem is that it was finally getting to be bright out when I go to catch the bus and now it's pitch-black again and there are tons of wild animals roaming my area. I really don't want to walk blindly into a bear or Coyote one morning.... I once heard the number of suicides and stress related incidents increases in the first few weeks following the time change. I don't think Puerto Rico changes their time either. By the way, how do they change it back? Do they just go from 11:59pm straight to 1am? They have to skip an hour somewhere along the lines, don't they?
