Maybe not such a good idea. But I also don't buy the idea that switching times twice a year is bad for our health.

If the change in cycle causes you to have a heart attack, I think you were going to have a h art attack anyway.

What the FUCK happened to late-night comedy?

Watching old Dave Letterman clips on Youtube followed by Jimmy Kimmel or one of those English blokes you chaps seem to love so much is really an eye opener.

Even Leno was funny.

Hey, what do you mean, you people?

This is for where I live. Imagine the left and right sides shifting up an hour. Yeah it would be dark until nearly 9am in Dec/Jan, but on the flip side it would be light until almost 6pm (instead of 5pm). Anyway...I have zero control over what will be decided, I'll find the benefits to either scenario, no point in grumbling.

Fast forward to when your kids are school aged.

If DST didn't exist, it would not be reinvented, and the shocked faces at anybody proposing it would be shockier than the shocked faces at those against the idea now.

Kids go to school too early. Known fact. Kids need more sleep.

As far as I can tell, the main reason the high school starts so ridiculously early is so that they can use the buses three times, once for each school. Having 16 year-olds go in at 7am is bloody stupid.
