When told the reason for daylight savings time the old Indian said, "Only the government would believe that you can cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket."

Awesome.
My grandfather once told me that he thought all times should be exactly the same, and that regionally you just get up at noon, or at 9 pm, or whatever, because the number doesn't actually matter. Blew my mind - he's totally right.
I think DST ought to be the standard time.
In reply to tuna55:
I believe China does that. The whole country is on Bejing time.
In reply to carguy123:
How about we just split the difference (+0.5hr from Standard) and leave it there?
Extra sleep--w00t
Getting dark shortly after lunch--
...and we get to be bombarded with Christmas ("holiday") fanfare starting Sunday. 
As usual, I'm not mentally ready for winter.

They do have that, it is called Zulu (the same as GMT or Greenwich Mean Time) time, used by the military, aviation etc.

We already do that in Newfoundland. You guys are so behind.
ugh... working tonight till 4:30am.. means it goes from being an 8 hour day till a 9 hour day for me.
because we have the cast from the Movie Twilight AND Snoop Dog here in the pool.. we are probably running to 5:30.. so two hours OT

Amen bro, but then some bureaucrat couldn't justify his job. You just know there is a division of the government whose sole job is to keep up with the changing of time and the effects of it.

In that case could you do me a favor and drop something high voltage in to the pool? I will reward you handsomely for the proper results.

Yup. Though almost everything that directly affected me was local time.
And I say that we just scrub DST altogether.

Yeah, but that's because Newfoundland is Canada's retarded little brother.

Our time changed here in Europe last weekend. Now it gets dark at 5:00 PM instead of 6:00.
Needless to say it's beyond stupid.
extra sleep hahaha
instead of 5am my infant now woke up at 4am. Someone please tell her that we're supposed to get an extra hour of sleep.

we ran till 5:30. It was a mess... 2400 people in the door, another 1200 in the side door. You could not move in the place. The fights were amusing though.
Snoop and that dude from Twilight at fisticuffs. That would have been stellar.

Stuff like this is why I quit the road crew and went back to Master Control years ago..I can't remember the last time I touched a light. I must have finally figured out how not to burn myself by the time I gave up on production.

Not to mention, my 17 month old son is crazy confused.

Pretty cool that he can already tell time at 17 months.

I'd be surprised if he can tell time, but I'm SURE he makes mommy and daddy's life difficult when they mess it all up.
