Aww, come on there, Larry, "The capital of the United States, Washington DC.......". Everybody knows that the US of A is run from New York by the banks and Wall Street, with Washington being the place where decisions and legislation written by the banks and Wall Street are rubber stamped.
But on a matter of principle, I would argue that Washington *should* be shown as the entry for the Time Zone for east coast of America. Basil, your statements are not contributory in light of the problem you pose and are putting you into troll territory. Noise for the sake of noise.
You have been told that a nation's capitol or location representing that status is not selected as representative of a time zone rather that location which relates best to the most people.
If you cannot accept that, rather than debate (used very loosely) it here, why not go to the source of your perceived problem and provide information that will sway those individuals to your thoughts.
You will only accomplish inane traffic here, which you already know :^( Ah, Patrick The Wise comes up, as always, with the appropriate comment.
