I never understood the rationale behind Daylight Savings Time myself.  If
people wanted more daylight hours, just get up earlier, right?  And as far
as school children safety (surely an important issue) goes, why not just
move the starting and/or ending times of classes?

Another thing, I've never understood why the farmers are always upset with
DST.  Anyone care to elaborate?

Or maybe work hours should be structured so that you work longer during
the winter when it is dark, and get more hours off during the summer when
it is light and warm.  Of course, people would be too confused if everyone
used GMT :-)
