A recent NBC News article on the controversy surrounding the time change (Note how, among opponents of the time change, the politicians favor year-round DST, while actual scientists & medical people support year-round Standard Time -- why, it's almost like politicians don't give a shit about science or human health & well-being when it goes against what they want!)
