    Default Daylight Savings

    Damn it was dark when I got off work ... I already miss daylight savings time.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    I voted but I'm used to never having windows anyway. Going to work in the dark, and going home in the dark is the norm.

    Need a new rotational period on our planet's axis for that. A new orbit would affect how long our year is.

    I'd be ok with that, if and only if the work-day remained less than 10 of those hours.
