Let's just move the clock forward by two hours and stay there. Live on as you did before, get out of bed at 7 or 8 AM to go to work, go home at 7 or 6 PM, go to bed at 10 or 12 PM as before. With the clock moved by two hours, the sun will rise on averag

I don't see the sense in switching back and forth either, but I do not think standart time is the best solution. Just switch to a better time system and stay there, summer or winter.
Let's face it: Daylight is better to live in than night. The night is

Oh, wait a second. After hearing what's going on in my apartment's stairwell for the past two weeks I guess the incessant beeping isn't enough of a reminder, and it's time to wrap a note around a BRICK.

How do you get your hands on their tiny little teats? (assuming they have them of course. I know nothing about squirrels.)

As a dairy farmer I have a lot to say about this
Won't the long evening make it easier to discourage those farm hands who are so inclined from doing something "unseemly" with your stock?

My wife would agree with you emphatically. She's a nurse working 12 hour shifts at a children's hospital. The last three years, everytime it came time to move the clocks ahead an hour, she was working a shift meaning she had to work 13 hours in

Hell must be freezing over, I'm agreeing with something rombuu says. This standard versus daylight savings time is ridiculous. I can see how it was useful when farming communities needed the early morning light, but we live in a different world

Science be damn, though, claimed US President George W. Bush as he bestowed upon America extra hours of sunlight starting this year.
Um, I think this law passed though a couple of houses of congress to... just sayin'.
