Is it time to move the clock again?

Just reminding 300 million people it is the last Sunday of October.

Yesterday the U.S. population hit 300 million. Bully for us because we are going to need them. We build walls around our stuff. Walls around our hearts. Walls around people who break into those walls.
We spend just as much time guarding these walls as building them.
What are we going to do once the world is all fenced off?
When the communist authorities sealed off East Berlin the 102 mile (apx 1500 football fields) barrier needed 14,000 guards and 6,000 dogs. But of course they were keeping people in.
We already have over 300,000 corrections officers that staff the nation's correctional facilities (according to the public employees service network) at 134 facilities (bureau of prisons), and somewhere between 133,000 and 200,000 millitary personel are deployed in Iraq. So we will have a few left over once we are done fencing our boarders.
"Walls betray our fears. We lock ourselves in to avoid being exposed to the Other we neither understand nor want to meet. Walls are a preventive measure for gated communities, surrounded by moats (disguised with vegetation) or the more authoritarian wire fences, with just one entrance patrolled by armed guards. The occupants are afraid of encountering other members of society and select their acquaintances carefully, discriminating between people living in their residential enclave and everyone else. Anyone who enters the precinct, whether delivering pizza or to dine with friends, must prove their identity. It might feel like being in quarantine but the gated trend is catching on in cities, from Los Angeles to Rio, Buenos Aires to Istanbul, Warsaw to Moscow, Shanghai to Bombay, and from the suburbs of Toulouse to the outskirts of Paris"
But really, who cares about walling in our growth-slowed population. What in in a wall? I mean if we really want to go to the lengths of kingdoms and walls. The Great Wall of China is what a wall should look like if it is to properly keep people out. Right China? Hmm maybe not. Maybe china figured since the Great Wall didn't work a namby-pamby little fence would be more cost effective. Or maybe they are just trying to be considerate. Is this fair to North Koreans who want to smuggle through China? After all, Korean smugglers are just poor people in search of a better life.

P.S. I think some are a little confused it's SPRING forward and fall BACK
