So now I'm confused. If you don't turn your A/C off or up during the day, how does the clock time affect anything? Isn't it hot when it's 102 degrees, regardless of what the clock says? Wouldn't you just leave it on until it gets dark regardless of what the clock says? It's still the same number of "hot" hours everyday.

I kind of understand your concern if you are turning it off during the day while you're at work, because it will be a little cooler when you get home if it's already dark. But if you just leave it on during the hot part of the day anyway, then the clock time is irrelevant right? What am I missing here?

It's hard for very young kids to say up late though.

Can we worry about important things?

We can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Huh? To see the fireworks where the sun sets late in the evening with DST in place.

During winter month's it will remain dark till 8:30 am and later in the northern parts of the Nation. I think this idea has not been thought out well.

Politicians, try as they might, cannot change some things.

This guy gets it.

As predicted all the Standard Time nazis have come out in full force. Do we have any indication how the House is going to vote?

Honestly I'm shocked the Senate granted unanimous consent, I'm thinking half the members weren't even paying attention but that House member phones are now ringing off the hook
