Subject: Re: Daylight Savings Time (Was: American Airlines - Last one standing) Posted on: Sat, 17 Sep 2005 11:58:31 EDT

Very complex situation without simple answers. Not only are there north
south length of day light differences in the US, but east west
differences in each time zone. The challenge is most adults work on the
clock time regardless of daylight and want their children going to and
from school during daylight regardless of the clock. There are
businesses on the Florida peninsula which is on the western edge of the
Eastern Time Zone that would like to work on sun time in the winter, but
work on the clock since the wife and kids are on the clock. The cows
don't care as long as they are milked twice a day, but some dairy farms
even change milking schedules to match people schedules.
