- rms 19y agoIt's not like the USA doesn't do the same thing...
- rms 19y agoUm... we do. It's called Daylight Savings Time.
- SwellJoe 19y agoWow. Batshit crazy. Who knew?
- dpapathanasiou 19y agoChavez is starting to sound like the crazy dictator in Woody Allen's film "Bananas" (http://imdb.com/title/tt0066808/ http://imdb.com/title/tt0066808/): From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!
- euccastro 19y agoExcept for the minor detail that he was elected time and again by overwhelming majority. The reasoning behind the clock change is medically sound. Other countries do it to save electricity. I don't understand your WTF-ness, guys, it's not as if he had decreed pi to be 3.
- SwellJoe 19y ago"The reasoning behind the clock change is medically sound. Other countries do it to save electricity. I don't understand your WTF-ness, guys, it's not as if he had decreed pi to be 3." Did you miss the part where it's a half hour? And how about the fact that people adjust if it is a permanent change (daylight savings time is only moderately successful at saving electricity). Sorry, it's nuts.
- euccastro 19y agoPeople adjust sleep schedules, if that's what you mean, but it's still healthier to get more daylight. I did miss the half hour bit. That's weird. :)
- rms 19y agoIt doesn't sound any worse than what Bush says. It's just that our media presents Chavez like he's an insane dictator and doesn't present Bush like he's an insane totalitarian.
- SwellJoe 19y agoI didn't say anything about Bush. Bush is definitely crazier than Chavez. But this article was about Chavez, so I commented on Chavez.
