I mean really Moi, why do you care what time system we use, you don't get up until past noon no matter what system is used.

Because it is there to care about, and someone has to.

but, butt, ( )0( ) Moi, if you really cared about day time hours you would get up before the sun is half gone. I know what it really is, you loose an hour of sleep.

It is easier to fall asleep after some hours of darkness.
Easier to wake up after some hours of light.
DST is an attack on our sleep cycles.
I cannot figure how fhunter and more polar members manage in the extreme solstice times.
Ever see Al Pacino, Robin Williams and Hillary Swank in the movie, Insomnia (2002).

moi,
buy an island and set up your own rules. Or, you could find that farm that Charles Manson lived on and set up a "time commune"
...time isn't really real, anyways. Einstein said that he could never understand it all so what chance do the rest of you have?

Yes and the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution does entitle the government to establish when 12 noon (one time, no shifts) is to coordinate the clocks. Sometimes they do something right. It is always when they go beyond their mandate they create problems.
Still, I do not grant my State, my County or my City the latitude to manipulate my clock. There is still a reservoir for personal freedoms no matter who drought stricken it looks.
Moi
FREEDOM!
For the individual from his city.
For the city from its' county.
For the county from its' State.
For the State from the Federals.
FREEDOM = 1 / Domination
Feel free to set your clock to 11:00 even if the rest of us think it's 5:00. That's your right. Frankly I'm going to be a conformist on this one. It makes life much easier.

I only have three plus the PC's they self change, the Bose which sits next to me, the kitchen clock and the one on the stove, all three in less then a minute, no biggie.
Now as for Moi, I am with you MOI set your clocks to what ever time you want, FREEDOM goes with it. I will talk to you tomorrow at 2pm central DST I don't know or care what time that is for you.

Why did I ever start this hobby of collecting antique clocks. I have 27 clocks to change.

Typing slowly.

<Imagine a quiet voice, not soapboxing>
Standard is standard.
Not express, special savings, just standard.
I just do not understand why I should quietly individualize my time because the government at any level chooses to social engineer any time beyond, standard.
Standard(s) are a government function. Not Supra Standard(s)! Or Uber Standard(s).
Consider the evolution of it all.
Like having to separate your garbage, not in my Freedom loving City. But Irvine you do.
So it evolves -
How many items in a government dozen during Autumn?
How about a metric dozen?
The Standard dozen is 12 items, except for bakers.
Standard is best not messed with. In space or especially, Time. <Twilight Zone music>

Doesn't anyone love FREEDOM more then I do on Board?
