In reply to the discussion: OK! Enough Time Changing, Thanks! [View all]Xolodno
(7,235 posts)53. Most polls have stated to leave it one way and be done with it. However...
...you still get the usual arguments:
What about the kids going to school in the dark?
Work schedules?
etc.
I say, then they should just adjust the schedule if its that important, it would amount to the same thing. Before I became unemployed, I had to get my sorry ass up at wierd hours for confrence calls on the east coast and some who resided in Inida were up at some really odd hours and If I wanted to talk to friends or family in Austrailia, well, just the way it is. If people in Alaska, Siberia and Scandinavian nations can adjust under the midnight sun, so can everyone else.
