Americans will keep us in the dark...

Proposal has changed...two weeks now on either end, not 4 weeks.

But airlines said it would complicate international flight schedules, and U.S. farmers complained they would suffer because the amount of light animals receive adversely affects their mating cycles.

and its happened before:

The last time the United States and Canada observed different winter time systems was during the 1974-75 oil crisis. The U.S. did not turn its clocks back at all that fall in an attempt to conserve energy.

As a result, airline schedules involving flights from south of the border were occasionally one hour off, television schedules were mixed up and business associates regularly missed each other's phone calls.

I love it when it's dark on my commute, because it keeps me calmer and it makes me feel like it's still earlier even though it's later, I just like the darkness, even though spring is my favorite time of the year.

Just think how much fun it will be on early days when you're at work 3 hours before the sun is up...oh, joy...

You mean that isn't normal? I work 12 hour shifts, I get to work at about 0645h, and leave at 1900h. In the winter, the only sunshine comes through the odd window. In the summer, the sun is just rising as I pull into the parking lot.
