I've actually had that specific thought for years now, John. Split the difference. If I'm not mistaken there's a chunk of geography in the north east maritime part of North America that's a "half hour" different.Originally Posted by John E. Hobart

Personally, I don't care much either way. Of all the issues facing the USA, I put this pretty low on the list.

The reason Arizona doesn't embrace DST is they don't relish the extra hour of intense summer HEAT at night. It'll surprise me if their citizens don't balk at moving the clocks ahead permanently...
Guess I'm the only one who LIKES DST...

Very much in favor of eliminating the time change, but (as a morning person) I'd pick standard time, not daylight saving time as the one standard to stick to. Having the sun up when I want to go to bed in the summer reminds me too much of being a little kid-- except then I wanted to stay out and play.

I hate switching my clock. Have heard and support making Standard time the norm. Lived in the Yukon as a kid, really ridiculous there extra daylight when you already have 20 plus hours naturally most of the summer then "fall back" when daylight almost disappears most of the Winter . Winter definitely brought out the worst in some people with all the darkness.

I’ve been thinking the same thing. This is not a choice between standard or daylight times. We can choose any value between the two.
here’s a question. I would assume that somewhere in each of the time zone is a meridian that matches solar time. I found something that suggests that the match is not in the center of the zone but towards the eastern edge. If that’s the case, I wonder why. Would it also make sense to readjust the zones?
