My gripe with the abolitionists is that our ranks are infiltrated with a fifth-column: people aren't trying to abolish DST, they are trying to make DST permanent, year around. A bunch of morning people who like to wake up before dawn, being bullies. -kb, the Kent who keeps some of his clocks?the obscure ones he mostly forgets about anyway?on permanent Standard Time. P.S. And what happens over time, when collective habits drift back to later in the day? Do the dictatorial morning people impose /another/ time zone change, put Boston on Greenland Time, to again make everyone get up early again? "Daylight Saving Time" really means "Make Everyone Get up Early Time".
