They should move time forward so that it doesn't get dark until after 2:00am. That way you could see the woman you were walking out of the bar with and be able to rethink your decision. I bet it would eradicate several diseases. Can you imagine if you walked outside the bar and it was still light out...you took a look at the troll next to you...and could actually see her in something other than a dim street light. The conversation might bo something like this..."Oh boy, no thanks...I'll see you back in central/standard time where you belong!"

yes, it's the same time on the clock everywhere in the country, but a business will have different 'business hours' depending on location.

I see. However, I think I still prefer time zones. That would be less confusing to me. Thanks!

I love how no matter how many times the media, govt., church...whomever, tries to let everyone know to reset your clock Saturday/Sunday...there is always someone who strolls in late and is completely unaware of the switch. People never cease to amaze me.
