Indiana: They Came To The Party Late, But At Least They Brought Cabbage Rolls

It looks like Indiana may be leaping into the 1940s by actually making Daylight Savings mandatory statewide. Indiana will also be requiring it's citizens to eat shellfish twice a week and bath in milk once a month. It's always been known as the party state.


"Part of the state's identity is `Hoosier exceptionalism.' If everyone else is doing something and it looks stupid to you, you shouldn't do it even though everyone else does it," Bill Blomquist, a political scientist at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, said in summarizing the state's antipathy to fooling around with clocks.
