Posted by Lew Rockwell at October 30, 2006 02:01 PM How wonderful for an early riser to have the former War Savings
Time ended, at least for a while, and the clock returned to normal.
This totalitarian intervention began in 1917 for Wilson’s war.
Thanks to popular opposition, Congress repealed it in 1919 over
Woodrow’s veto, but as you might guess, FDR brought it back for his
war, and today, we think nothing of the leviathan state handing
down its time edict twice a year.
This is a joke, right? What is “normal” time? It’s all a convention.
Libertarians can be so funny.
