A Sensible Proposal

Ok, I just don't get it. If Daylight Savings Time is so great that they are going to add two months to it, making it from March until November, why don't they just bump everyone's time zones and be done with it? Put the East Coast on Nova Scotia time, the Midwest on Eastern Standard, the Rockies on Central time and the West Coast on Mountain Standard. Or is that too sensible for government?

Why don't they just move the clock up half an hour in the spring and leave it there from now on? Splitting the differnce like that makes as much sense as doing it the way we do it now and nobody would have to wonder if it's spring foward/fall back or the other way around and nobody would have the excuse for coming in late because they forgot to reset their clock, an excuse I've gotten from more than genius employeee twice in the same year, when they should have shown up an hour early on one of those Mondays.
