Does it actually harm you or hinder your life activities? Why do you let a clock dictate your own activity patterns?
Let's say the boss expects you to be in the office at a particular time. Or your customer is promised to have a daily report delivered at a particular hour and you can be fined for missing the service level agreement. Or you have a doctor's appointment -- better yet -- a court case at a specific time. (Or worse -- your wedding at a particular time.) Everyone has a time structure to deal with in their life in some way.
If you want me to believe this (daylight savings time) is a serious problem for you, then you must accept that I cannot hold your intellect in very high esteem. You're probably always running late (not to mention running red lights, speeding and generally posing a much greater menace than sub-optimal light timings for one hour twice a day).
If they want to change something about daylight savings time, they should just eliminate it.
That is your opinion. Did you make it known to your elected representatives when the pertinent bill was before congress?
I pester my congress-critter constantly. Not that she's smart enough to know anything about anything remotely technical.
If you're technically-minded enough to be so sure you understand this better than your elected representatives, then surely you're capable of coping with the exigencies of daylight savings time? Me thinks thou doth protest too much. Again, there are real issues with which to concern ourselves, DST is in the noise. Randall Schulz
