Well, if we're going to be sensible, we should all be on UTC and ignore
daylight altogether.

I also would agree that there should be an adjustment in the start/ending
times for DST; they should correspond with the equanoxes.  But I think we
should go to *Double* Summer Time (or what was known during WW2 as
"Wartime") during the summer.  Down with darkness! <g>
