     I strongly believe that Daylight Savings Time system should be
abolished in these days of modern technology.  I suspect that shifting
around the time axis itself must be causing too many problems.  Our
fundamental notion of time continuity is also hurt by this crude system
which might have been all right in the old Columbian days.  In fact,
no time system can save the actual time:  one day is 24 hours, no matter
what, excepts the two days a year -- one when DST starts, and the other 
when it ends under this ridiculous system.

     All we may need is merely having the besiness hours for certain
businesses set up flexibly depending on the length of daylight (or any
other relevant factors).   However, it would be very much desired that
the goverment takes the minimum role of announcing recommended dates for
such shiftings of business hours for the sake of social efficiency.
