They have to stop changing the clock and then people can decide for themselves when they want to go to bed.

I was so hopeful when there was a bipartisan consensus in the US that we should stop changing the clock, like, for once Congress might be able to change something. We ran into the predictable problem though that we could never get people to agree on which phase to make permanent.

Full headline: 'Scientifically not a good idea,' says researcher whose work informed B.C.'s daylight-time decision. Altered for space.

and yet, i remember reading not too long ago about all the people who wanted to abolish dst because it's a really crap experience and there wasn't data to show it would be a bad idea - so i'm wondering: is this new data, or just the old "data" that wasn't enough to convince all the people who wanted to kill dst?
