It's been too long since we had a poll.

I'm on Arizona time... which is one "zone" half the year and another "zone" the other half of the year.

... you silly people with your biannual time changing. You can't change the time! =P

Daylight Savings time has nothing to do with your time zone, Katie. You are in Mountain.

I despise both time zones and daylight savings. However, I'm in EST and we observe daylight savings both places I live. So, there we are!

I'm glad we have a poll, again. It makes the place more complete.

Mountain is the best though!


Because, well, daylight savings sucks. You have to change all these clocks and remember not to be late, while suddenly, you've made the sun rise later or sooner.

And for all the reasons previously pointed out.

That map is SOOO erroneously incorrect, it's amusing. There are 4 states who are what I refer to as "non-dumb"... well, three... because one regressed into stupidity. The smart states are Hawaii, Arizona, and Delaware. I forget if it was Illinois or Indiana that was smart for a few years... it doesn't matter, though because I heard they switched back.

Life is so less confusing without having to remember to change your clocks. You silly state people have to go and confuse people like me by switching your clocks... so I think I'm in two time zones instead of one because half the year I'm on the same time as the states to my east and half the year it's the same time as the states to my right.

Besides, with the invention of electricity, do we really need "daylight savings"?

Saving electricity has the same effect (if not far greater) as saving candle wax, but I don't understand how we save electricity when the hour we gain to save electricity is lost by the hour we lose later on in the year... I really don't understand the whole concept even though I know it.
