More Daylight Savings Time

President Bush recently signed a law to extend daylight savings time. It would start in March and end much later, in November. But if it's darker in the morning, won't we use more electricity (and hence, oil) anyway? And it's been proven that there are more traffic accidents when people have to drive to work in the dark.

I dread the time change twice every year. It takes my body at least two weeks to adapt. I'm grouchy and sleepless during that time. There's only ever going to be 24 hours in a day. Most people still have to work 8 of them. Some have to work more or less, depending on their job. Let's just set the clocks one way or the other and leave it at that.
