Re: Extended Daylight Savings Time!
I don't understand why we still do this at all! Is there any "modern" day reason?

The supposed reason is to 'save energy'. If its light out, its less time you'll have to keep on the lights, turn up the heat, etc.
But it kind of evens itself out in the fact that people may stay up an hour longer in the day and watch TV or use teh computer so they would be using more electricity during that one hour instead of sleeping.
I agree that it's stupid - I think DST was originally for farmers to have more time? For outside workers years and years ago it probably made sense. Now? not so much.
