[QUOTE="Dave, post: 1000907, member: 498"] Most of the world is base on 9 to 5 or something similar. On my 20 mile commute into the office at 6:00 there isn't one house in 10 with the lights on. Here in mid summer it is light at 5:00 and dark at 10:00 with DST. Without it it would be getting light at 4:00 when the vast majority of people would be sleeping and dark at 9:00 when most of them are still up. Standard time in the winter here it is light about 7:30 and dark around 4:30. If it were DST in the winter it wouldn't get light until 8:30. All of the kids would be catching the scool bus in the dark (one of the big reasons for the dates of the switch). For the majority of the country (read that urban people) it saves a lot of hours of daylight and thus a lot of electricity. That said when the alarm went off at 5:00 this morning my body sure thought it felt like 4:00. [/QUOTE]
