or you can just base everything off Greenwich Mean Time.

But where's the fun in that?

well, if fun is what you want, lets switch to submarine time with their 18 hour days.

That could be interesting, but frankly, I always seem to need to add more hours to the day, maybe if we just added 6 to make a more even 30.

"Kids across the nation will soon rejoice," he said, as they get another hour of daylight trick-or-treating."

ummm... a big part of the fun for kids is being able to t-or-t in the DARK! Roaming the streets in the dark is a special thing that they don't normally get to do.

You know, I bet it would be fairly easy to put some sort of large reflecting mirror into space, so that we could illuminate the dark side of the earth, thereby ending this night thing alltogether.

or just turn the light dials in all the cities nation-wide to perma-day.

Didn't the Russians do this about 15 years ago to help illuminate a major construction project?

I think DLS causes us to uses more power. In the summer (at least here) it stays hot well into the night. If it got dark earlier then we wouldn't need to have the a/c on as long during the day.
