Why dont we just leave it a half hour ahead and not change it anymore?
Wasn't it Einstein who said all is relative?
Surely our national government led by 'conservative' Republicans has something better to do than mess with changing the time back and forth. They still do believe in smaller government don't they? And less intrusion into the lives of the citizens of the respective states? Or has that been officially dropped from the party platform?
It's just crazy having the sun set at different times each day. Instead of going crazy twice a year moving the clock forward or backward an entire hour and STILL having sunset all screwed up, why not just adjust the clocks each day with the sun?
For instance, the Farmer's almanac has sunset at 5:13 one day, 5:14 the next day and then 5:16 the day after that. Well why not just adjust the clocks each day so that sunset is the same exact time every day?
So we could then say that we want sunset to occur at 7:00 every day. So then we adjust our clocks to that and then move them backward or forward a minute or two each day in order to accomplish that. Microprocessors could be programmed to make the change for us in digital appliances. Even in analog watches and clocks, mechanisms could be installed on them that would make the change for us automatically so that sunset occurs at the same exact time each and every day.
