I for one am sick of watching bright daylight go to waste on empty streets at early hours before life on earth evolves, then having bleak darkness at 4:30 in the afternoon. Far more people would benefit than would lose. The number of accidents saved in the early evening has been shown to be far greater than the small number possibly caused in the morning when daylight is shifted an hour forward in winter.

You really thought he was being serious?
Believe it or not, I have encountered those who do believe that changing the time via dst or otherwise increases or decreases the amount of sunlight.
If he wasn't serious then great.
