The thing about morning people is you just can't trust them, because a part of them will always believe that night people are lazy; they just can't get over it, no matter how rationally you explain your situation. And you can't trust people like that, because they'll never understand the difference between something they just happen to like or believe and something that is universally Right, Good, and True. To them there's no difference. Every Dystopia was a morning person's idea, I guarantee it.

I'm a morning person. I get up between 6-7 am, even on weekends, and I go to bed around 9:30 pm. The day just feels done for me by then. There is some truth to what you say. I do feel people who "can't" get up in the morning are slackers. But, those same people are full of energy and ready to party (or whatever) when I'm slinking off to bed, so they regard me as boring, lame and no fun. These are two solitudes, I'm afraid.

Heh, people look at me sideways for leaving at 430 when I'm in at 7. You might time people can't be trusted because we never know when you've gone home :). (Said in complete jest, of course)

  Of course the same can be said for morning people, we never know when you arrived !

  Well, now, that doesn't take much sleuthing. But I'm not sure I get your point.

    My point was that it's a finger-pointing statement that accomplishes no further understanding for either camp, except to encourage cynicism and apathy.

The thing about night owls is that you can't trust them, because a part of them will always believe that morning people are just pawns of the system; they just can't get out of it, no matter how many times you tell them they're being gamed by The Man. If the people who surround you subscribe to either the view you present or the one I did above, it's not a matter of morning or night people, it's a matter of stupid people, and there is no cure.
