Yeah but if we use enough heat pumps we can take all that
extra heat out of the air.

I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. We also stay constant.
However, I work remotely for a company in Ottawa, so the delta between
their time and mine changes twice a year and I have to reset my

Instead of jail, have them do stoop labor, e.g.chopping cotton in AZ,
picking lettuce in CA, etc. This also solves the illegal alien

NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
scientists report this year's (2006) ozone hole in the polar region of
the Southern Hemisphere has broken records for area and depth.
The ozone layer acts to protect life on Earth by blocking harmful
ultraviolet rays from the sun. The "ozone hole" is a severe depletion of
the ozone layer high above Antarctica. It is primarily caused by
human-produced compounds that release chlorine and bromine gases in the
stratosphere.
It was first noticed by a research group from The British Antarctic
Survey in the 1970's. Joseph Farman, Brian Gardiner and Jonathan
Shanklin, are the BAS scientists who discovered the Antarctic ozone
hole. In the 1980's the first measurements of this loss were actually
documented. In 1984, when the British first reported their findings,
October ozone levels were about 35 percent lower than the average for
the 1960s. When the first measurements were taken the drop in ozone
levels in the stratosphere was so dramatic that at first the scientists
thought their instruments were faulty.
The U.S. satellite Nimbus-7 quickly confirmed the results, and the term
Antarctic ozone hole entered popular language. More recently an ozone
hole has appeared over the North Pole. The ozone hole appeared first
over the colder Antarctic because the ozone-destroying chemical process
works best in cold conditions. The Antarctic continent has colder
conditions than the Arctic, which has no landmass. As the years have
gone by the Ozone Hole has increased rapidly and is as large as the
Antarctica continent. The hole lasts for only two months, but its
timing could not be worse. Just as sunlight awakens activity in dormant
plants and animals, it also delivers a dose of harmful ultraviolet
radiation. After eight weeks, the hole leaves Antarctica, only to pass
over more populated areas, including The Falkland Islands, South Georgia
and the tip of South America. This biologically damaging, high-energy
radiation can cause skin cancer, injure eyes, harm the immune system,
and upset the fragile balance of an entire ecosystem. News about the
ozone hole that forms over Antarctica each October has spread around the
world. The ozone hole can be as big as 1.5 times larger than the United
States.
Take a look at http://www.theozonehole.com/ozoneholehistory.htm for a
good treatment of this phenomenon and for links to yet more information.
To be sure, volcanism and other natural phenomena have some affect but
we are our own worst enemies here.

You are leaving out a very important piece. The warming 'rate' has been
increasing also.

Maybe not, but I bet we have something to do with the increase in rate.

Unfortunately, far too few people share that sentiment. I remember reading an
analysis that was done in the early 1980s showing that the turnover rate in
the US House was *lower* at that time than in the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet
Union (where there were no opposition candidates in *any* "elections"), and
that what little turnover there was, was more often the result of a member
dying than losing an election.
I don't think it's quite that bad any more... but it sure seems hard to get
rid of 'em.

Here's a few:

I got a taste of it in IN before they decided to do as the others do. I
didn't miss DST at all, except that my schedule would get messed up
relative to TV. Stupid politians decided to go on ET rather than CT even
though the half the state was already doing DST with CT...
One good thing about DST was that the volunteer firefighters in my area
suggested checking your smoke alarm batteries when you change your
clocks. So if you haven't checked them, now's a good time.

Many years ago, was standing in the Washington Monument looking out at
the city of Washington, DC.
I had spent the day as your classic tourist and facing all the
limitations of a tourist.
No cameras or tape recorders in many buildings, especially Congress,
were just some of the limitations.
Thought to my self, "Self, you are paying for all this, but you are
not free to move around and enjoy it."
Another senate building was just being finished, to house a bunch of
drones, and I would also help pay for that one.
Today I understand that building is bulging with drones.
At that point, had an idea.
Why not put the name of every politician from every branch of
government into a hat, then every day of the year, pull out 100,000

Every year have a two-week open season with no bag limit on politicians,
journalists, televangelists, telemarketers, and lawyers.
8 out of 10 people I have ever known say that daylight saving time should be
abolished. Consequently, congress decides more is better. Every politician
should have a Joe Average fallowing him around with a stick. If (when) the
politician screws up, the stick should be applied liberally until he either
A) does it right or B) is beaten to death.

For a time. Congress, in their ultimate wisdom, has decided that they can
legislate the solar system and extended daylight saving time. Next, they
will decide that this twilight nonsense will have to go and mandate that the
lights will have to go out at a certain time.

It's "daylight saving time" -- without the "s".
It's gone again -- we switched back to standard time.

Personally I think we should never go off of DST and should double it
in the spring/summer/fall.
I do not have any need for daylight in the mornings driving to work
and being at work. The longer there is daylight in the evening the
better. Of course within a month I will be driving to work in the dark
and driving home in the dark, wasting the entire daytime in an office

Joe Average already has that stick. Problem is, it's not used
properly. It's called a "ballot" and just about now is the time to use
it.

I strongly suspect in the next 35 to 40 years we will be worried about
global cooling again. I was listening to a scientist on the discovery
channel the other day as he was discussing the fact that the ozone hole was
at a near all time high. He was excited of this news as he explained that
the world as a whole while cutting back on the fluorocarbons for the last
couple of decades has had no effect on the hole getting any smaller. He
seem convinced that this is indeed a natural phenomenon.

What the politicians won't remind us because their hands are in a lot of
pockets, is that the earth has been warming since the ice age. Global
warming is natural not man made. Swedish scientists observed the very large
ozone hole at the South Pole back around 90 years ago, long before we
started polluting the air with modern chemicals.

I understand that issue. I have contacts out of state, sometimes they
are one hour ahead, sometimes two hours. Others are on the same time for
part of the year. Resetting appointment calendars is a heckof a lot easier
than resetting your biological calendar. ;-)

I saw something on that, but not any details. Are we changing by two
hours in the spring, or are you just averaging out the time of
starting it earlier and ending it later?
I'm with many of you in thinking that they should just leave the damn
time alone. I work nights, and it kind of works out as daylight
stealing time for me, being active very early in the morning after
work, but inside in the evenings.
