    Daylight savings is stupid.  For that matter, four timezones in
    continental USA are stupid too.  They should have only two:  one for
    the eastern half, and one for the western half, differing by two hours. 

One of the stated reasons for Daylight Savings Time is to increase the
amount of light when schoolchilden board buses in the morning, thereby
reducing the number of accidents.  Is that stupid? 

Seems to me that Rahul Dhesi ought to rephrase his comments to delete the
name calling and instead provide reasoning for his points of view.  We
might just agree.
