I have to say that I'm stunned that this legislation never got
overturned, I really thought it would. They've doinked around with
DST a lot of times, the last time it was extended was because of the
BBQ lobby, this time I saw an interview with the congressman that put
it forward and his lame, stuttering reason was "wouldn't it be nice
to get home from work and have it still be light out?". Well, if
that is the argument, then have DST in the winter instead of the
summer - oh yea,they tried that and kids were going to school in the
dark. I personally hate DST and now it's 3 weeks longer causing a
huge expense in the private sector for all kinds of devices and it is
all on the whim of some moron in congress.
