If we decided, en masse to ignore it, the government couldn't do anything about it.
I wouldn't hold my breath...:-( Sadly, people are easily fooled over such things most of the time. Most of my friends do not understand why fucking with the clock is a piss-poor idea in a global context. The supposed "savings" it generates does not justify the confusion and frustration it can cause.
Daylight savings time is a stupid, usless, confusing, time wasting anachronism that outlived its usefulness many years ago. Don't tie ribbons on the pig, get rid of it.

The earth is divided into 24 longitudinal bands. Stick to them and don't fuck around with time to suit your own cozy locale, for you do not live in a vacuum.
A far prettier alternative is KeePass. It uses AES-256, can run off a USB drive, and you'll find it easier to get others to start using it, due to its ease of use and lack of a butt-ugly interface.

I can picture a world without war, without hate.
But can you picture a world without DST?
Under what article would Congress have the authority to regulate when a private business opens or closes?
:-)
That's exactly what they're doing with DST and hoodwinking you in the process
To the south of the US, you have Mexico, not Canada.
I shall refrain from passing a snide comment on your geographic knowledge.

You, Sir, have earned my respect.
Where is he, now that we need him to write up another petition to change the name to something less offensive?
and get himself multiple OC-3s and new hardware so we can see what the fuss is all about.
I'll have a think about it.
Watson: No shit, Sherlock.
Mixed up your inches and centimetres again, eh?
Never watched Office Space, I take it?

Will Slashdot make the above message a crime?
Uh, that dangling pointer?

IE 5 was released in March 18th 1999 ... V1.0 of the XHTML standard were released January 26th 200.
