DST is so last millennium...

Chris Struble believes that daylight saving time has outlived any usefuleness it might have had.

The twice-a-year switch for daylight saving time is one of the bad ideas left over from the 20th century and living proof that Congress is behind the times....

Any [energy and productivity] gains...have already been spent by hundreds of software developers who were forced to create patches to deal with the DST change, and millions of computer users all over the planet who were forced to install these patches on their computers....

As for all clocks in my home and car, I still haven't found them all yet, let alone sprung them all forward one hour....

We live in an age of electricity where, like it or not, people are going to wake and sleep on whatever schedule works for them. For some businesses it may make sense to have summer hours, for others it may not. The idea of fixed work hours is dissolving as much people telecommute or use flexible hours. The one size fits all approach of DST denies reality and wastes more time and energy than it saves.

So I guess that Barry Goldwater's Arizona is a trend-setter...and the Navajos in Arizona are behind the, um, times.
