I do not like losing or gaining an hour twice a year. I'd much rather stick with one time the year round. Not ...[text shortened]... hat is far less confusiong and far more logical and convenient.

I switch from 5 to 4 to 5 to 4 to 5 to 4 depending on the time of year. It's always been this way. If you don't change it, you live an hour off half the year.

-5 in the winter

Totally agreed. It already pretty much works that way in the aurora fora and mailing lists I am on; sightings are reported in UTC, and the most dedicated people seem to have switched to UTC entirely.
