-
- I am not sure what your source about the hot debate is. Here on the 51st
- parallel, there is little concern. Most of us are pleased to have daylight
- savings. I quite enjoy the late sunny summer evenings and that fact that
- it stays warmer for a while after work.

-
- I wonder why the farmers don't just adjust their milking times. It's not
- like they punch a clock. Or maybe the cows adjust faster.

-
- 1.5% is still less money spent by consumers, less pollution, etc..
