Winter days are not 'that' short nor are Summer Days 'that' long . . . i don't think they care if they are "off" for a few extra months . . . "live" Network broadcast feeds are tape-delayed. :p

Funny how some people say the 1-hr change disrupts their lives, causes impotence, etc... Retarded morons.

I'm in favor: more light in the evening makes my daily trip home safer because of the stupid deer.

Given that logic, why should Alaska consider the switch either.
Either all day or all night for most of the year.

They are not tied to any economic zone.

no idea about Alaska . . . i am just giving you Hawaii's "logic" for not changing. . . .

I was attepting to point out that Alasks could use similar logic in reverse.

Big difference between Alaska and Hawaii (other than size) is that at least Alaska you can walk to.:p
