I'd like to have DST year-round. Where I live, because it's the northeast and close to the eastern edge of the time zone, the sun sets before 4:10 PM in the first week of December. The direction has been to make DST end later in the year and standard time begin early in the year ... why not just get rid of it altogether?
"Under the influence of maya, Brahman appears as Ishvara, the personal God, who exists on the celestial level of life, in the subtlest field of creation. In a similar manner, under the influence of avidya, atman appears as jiva, or individual soul." - MMY --- On Sun, 3/13/11, Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Bhairitu <noozg...@sbcglobal.net> Subject: [FairfieldLife] Happy DST USA!

Arizona because they voted against it and Hawaii because in the tropics the sun rise and set at widely varying times throughout the year so it is rather superfluous (India for the same reason doesn't observe it). I live pretty much by light time or standard time. It flummoxes people who want to go to lunch at noon during the summer because I feel more like going to lunch at 1 PM. Anyhoo, the local Bay Area comic who has the morning show on KGO radio on Sundays raised the question if we still want DST or not. Actually in the Internet age we need to move to one time zone: GMT (or UTC) and keep it year round. But try to explain THAT to the sleepwalkers around you. BTW, that was one thing Scientology (or L Ron) got right: most of the public is sleepwalking (or ign'ant as we used to say in TM). ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
