I wonder why then does the state of Arizona does NOT observe DST, but the Navajo Indian reservation in Arizona DOES observe DST? Must be because they have their own government. Shouldn't that be the opposite if the blanket story is true?

To that great wisdom I would like to add. Only white man uses electricity for the lighting in the evenings.
