This is one for the books.

For the same reason our schools run September to June.

They'll miss reruns of "Hee Haw".

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.

I agree! Let's keep DST in place all year around!

Yup, just shift all the time zones east one notch and wait for a few years, then do it again...

Great idea. When we get to the point where Central time is the same as Zulu
we can stop. Then I won't have to bother trying to remember the offset all
the time! :-)

Well of course not. What it does do is add hours of sunlight when

Probably a good reason that we don't have that Daylight Savings Time
nonsense here in Arizona. Around here, energy use is significantly
higher when the sun is shining.

I remember back during the "Oil Crisis" when they didn't revert to
standard
time in the winter. I loved it but I was between 10 & 12 years old at
the
time.

You liked that? I remember having to go to school while it was
still pitch dark outside. I hated it.

In the UK during WW2 we had 'summer' time all the year round and
'double' summer time during the normal summer time period. I think the
idea then was to help boost factory production. I was at school then and
had to ride a mile to the rail station to catch an 07:35 train to
school. Mind you T think that almost all of the UK (except perhaps the
Channel Islands) are well north of all of the USA. So we get shorter
winter days.

I believe in the UK it was claimed that it reduced road accidents
particularly to children coming home from school.

No, but it would give all the software companies a new reason to sell us an
upgrade.

Would extending daylight savings time give us more daylight?
