   I've known for years, but it's always nice to have a study to back you up.

   10 Mar 2008 ~ 6:38pm RADA I lived in Arizona for 14 years. We never moved our clocks there, and everything worked just fine. DST was crap-science latched onto by crap-politicians, and we're paying for it... Nothing new there....

   10 Mar 2008 ~ 6:38pm mas0n My understanding of DST is that regardless of what the peons have been told it was never intended to save money, but actually to promote consumerism by shifting the time that we work and having more daylight in the evening. More daylight during leisure hours = more shopping. DST has never been good for the consumer directly, but good for business and our economy. I still think it's stupid and outdated, and I'd like to see a study that analyzes it's overall effect on our economy.

   Here's a little website on the subject that I just googled http://webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/.
   
   Oh yeah ...and I've never heard anything about it supposedly saving me money.

   All I know is I thought I was getting home early tonight but it was just because it was still sunny I still felt better though.
