"Casey Wilson" N2310D @ gmail.com wrote in message news:x3g5e.889$hB6.333@trnddc06... Depends on your perspective. Personally, I don't particularly like daylight savings time in the first place. That's about the only thing I agree with in this discussion. I don't like DST at all. It is an outdated primitive way to control peoples actions. If you want more daylight at the end of your day, get up earlier! |

news:x3g5e.889$hB6.333@trnddc06... [...] if all the house lights don't go on for another hour into the evening, the energy savings could be substantial. I guess that depends on your definition of "substantial". 10,000 barrels out of 20 million doesn't sound substantial to me, even if we could save that every day of the year (rather than the two months daylight saving, no "s", time would be extended). There are lots better, more practical and more effective ways to conserve energy than this. When we have no way to save 10%, 1%, 0.1%, 0.01%, and 0.001% of our daily energy consumption, then maybe we can worry about something like this. Until then, I'd say this is either a suggestion from someone without their brain engaged, or it's a suggestion from someone with a hidden agenda (ie, the change would profit someone other than the American people). Since we're talking about a Congressperson here, it's hard to tell the difference sometimes, but either way it ain't good. Pete |

Since the government "mandates" the time whether it is DST or not, what is your point? |

Since the government "mandates" the time whether it is DST or not, what is your point? I suppose that is true. Maybe we should all refer to Zulu? My point is changing the time around only throws things out of whack, like jet lag... |

Does anyone ever wonder how a govt so notoriously incompetent and
unable to accomplish even minor tasks could have EVER pulled of anything so incredibly convoluted and complex as manipulating TIME... I still find it hard to believe... |

Add two more votes. In fact, I would vote to get rid of "regular" time (whatever that is) and just keep it on "daylight saving time" -- since it's all arbitrary anyway. Even here in Iowa, farmers are a tiny percentage. Why in the world we make our whole world revolve around "milking time" anymore is just beyond me -- give me evening daylight! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
