[quote:Anonymous Coward 78428409:MV81MDgzNzM1XzkzMTc0OTQ1Xzg2QUY0NEU4] Twelve o'clock is when the sun is at the highest point in the sky, by definition. But for practical reasons, we invented [i]timezones[/i], so that some people will have a clock set correctly, some up to 30 minutes early and some up to 30 minutes late. This is a compromise that keeps us from having to reset our clocks every time we move a couple of miles East or West. Then retarded politicians forced everyone to set the clock an hour wrong during the summer. This means the clocks were now anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes wrong, with [i]no-one [/i]having the correct time based on the position in the sky. This idiocy sucked, but at least we got a respite in the winter time, when the clock was set back right again. But now the retarded politicians decide the clock should ALWAYS be set wrong, fuck the sun, fuck what's natural, FUCK GOD! Just so they can feel that they are in charge and enjoy seeing the people dance by their pipe. It's [i]disgusting[/i]. And it's even more disgusting to see brainwashed idiots who come here on GLP to defend it. [/quote]

Leave to the wealthy idiotic senators who design a permanent time system around their golf outings disregarding public health and the safety of our children.
Sleep experts say Senate has it wrong: Standard time, not daylight saving, should be permanent
Sleep experts widely agree with the Senate that the country should abandon its twice-yearly seasonal time changes. But they disagree on one key point: which time system should be permanent. Unlike the Senate, many sleep experts believe the country should adopt year-round standard time.
