Yes, but as long as we have timezones someone is going to be subjected to that, somewhere.

It will be annoying, if it happens, but since I've spent the last six months arranging conference calls for a group of people scattered between California and Germany (that's people in 5 different time zones) I think I can handle a 1 hour time difference. So can my rail line - it starts in the Eastern zone and they've been handling the time switch for the past 120 years or so.

In the summer you turn on your AC's whether its light or dark and I sincerely doubt people don't turn on their lights in daylight, I know I do. Someone really needs to prove that Dayloght Savings does what its supposed to do before extending the fucking thing.

How about making fuel efficeint cars and exploring alternative energy sources before extending something that could adversely effect international trade?
