This morning though I usually listen to Thom Hartmann the car radio was
on KGO instead and Ronn Owen's had Michael Downing, a Tufts university
professor who has written a book on the subject of Daylight Saving Time
called Spring Forward. Guess who is the biggest supporter of DST?
The Chamber of Commerce because their studies show that given the extra
daylight hour people are inclined to shop rather than that go straight
home after work. Who would have thunk it in the land of money worshiping?

Does save any energy either, in fact it increases energy consumption.

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.

Except for Arizona and Hawaii residents. 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).
