Interfering With Nature?

Back home, watching episodes of Grey's Anatomy that I haven't watched in far too long. Kristina reminded me of this episode a while back, and I didn't bother to look up the episode number, so I've only just got around to watching it, and it was by chance that it came on, because I just picked a random dvd from season two. The clocks go back tonight, I've watched my clock tick over to 1am twice tonight. It's so strange when that happens. I like how the government are clearly so powerful that they can CHANGE TIME. They can make there be two 1ams in a day. A 25 hour day. And in spring, they can make the whole hour between midnight and 1am disappear. A day with only 23 hours. That's some serious power. They can make the days longer, or shorter, decide what time the sun rises and sets. How did we let them gain so much power? That's interfering with nature... surely. I heard that they were thinking of making British Summer Time +2 hours instead of just +1, just so that we could have more time in the sun. Not that British summers actually have sun. But to elongate the day. Do we not have more pressing issues that need attention? Are there not murders, wars, scandals and neglect that need dealing with? Environmental issues? Education worries? Granted, it may benefit some activities, materialistic activities such as sport and retails. But on the other hand it complicates issues such as medical equipment, travel and sleep patterns amongst others. I do realise that I'm going off on a bit of a political rant here, and I do realise that I started this by talking about Grey's Anatomy, but sometimes my focus just shifts. I like it when that happens though, when my writing veers off in a new direction, a direction I hadn't even thought of when I started writing. Anyway. I'm home now, home home, not halls home. So I'm going to take advantage of the politically stupid extra hour of sleep, and snuggle up in a bed that's not as hard as lying on a table. Goodnight!
