> Perhaps we should modify our schedules rather than altering the time the clock shows. The time doesn’t really change. We should abolish savings time and stick to standard time year round.

I agree with you. I think that permanent standard time would be better (although permanent daylight saving time would still be better than changing the clock twice every year, I think permanent standard time would be better than permanent daylight saving time), and that you do not need to do your schedules/stuffs only according to clocks.

Actually, I think that the way that it should be done is by time zones based on mean solar time.

> The real arguments for savings time are for economic (ie consumption) reasons. More daylight later means more spending after work. If you look at who supports and lobbies for savings time it should be clear who the enemy is.

I am not well aware of who supports and lobbies for savings time, although you may be right.
