A question of time
By J. Patrick Reilly-preilly@thedodgevillechronicle.com
In short, most people say they would prefer to just do without it and stay away from the grumpiness that usually goes with it.
I am of the opinion that it would be good to stay with the same time all year. I am not opposed to change when change is done for a good reason but flipping the clocks back and forth twice a year does not qualify for a good reason in my estimation.
While it is nice to suddenly have the extra daylight after a long winter, it all evens out eventually.
It is a little disturbing that some states want to set their own time zones when it comes to daylight saving time or a regional standard time. That is where a problem could come in. If we want our country to be united, then we need to be united on this issue. There is a bill being proposed to make daylight savings time permanent.
That makes sense to me.
With no one really realizing a benefit from the time changes, why not just leave it alone every day of the year.
