    Personally, I've thought that there shouldn't even be time zones. Just base everything off Zulu Time (Greenwich?) Like, 6 am in England means 6 am everywhere, it's just that while they're getting up at 6 am in England, they're going to bed at 6am in, say, China. It would work just about the same way, just with less control......of course, it'd all have to be figured out, and it'd never change to this, it'd just be easier if it did.

    But anyway. Extra hour of sleep, yes.

    An extra hour of sleep is totally worth losing an hour xxmonths from now. If you disagree you are wrong : p

    The reasoning behind daylight saving is for the farmers and industry (most people) before the widespread use of the lightbulb. They needed to work in the sun, so the daylight was a lot more needed for them.. duh

    BUT LOOK AT WHAT GEORGE BUSH IS DOING: Date change in 2007
    On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday of March and end the first Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.
    DAMN you bush!

    I like it the change over all. Set the normal day to enjoy as much sun as possible

    So how do you feel about daylight savings time? I'm not sure how it is outside the US, so sorry if it's another one of those ignorant Americans who know nothing outside their own country thing again.
    We have our Daylight Savings in the UK on the same evening. Personally I prefer it when they go back, because it means I technically get a 25 hour day, which is always good. In contrast it sucks when they go forwards. It's to do with farmers if I remember correctly, so they can get more work done in the morning or something like that. Still, climate being how it is these days, it'll probably be switched around or changed to two hours.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I was considering boycotting it, but I'm too lazy.
