I think that as far as history goes, the disenfranchised who took the risks weren't doing it because they wanted to, it was the only option they had.

I've thought for years that I'd take that step and go to Mars, the moon or wherever given the chance.

Daylight Saving Time, I believe it's one of the best examples of human stupidity I've ever seen. Whether we actually do save energy or not may not matter, but instead of people saying that "sure, we'll all agree to get up and start our day an hour early," everyone says that would be too hard. So, the answer? Reset the clocks so the people "think" they're getting up at the same time as before.

And there is always that very large portion of us who actually do believe we're getting an "EXTRA" hour of daylight by doing this.
