Hear, hear! They upgraded the street light outside my home last year, and now the light is so nice and bright that I'm pulling down a lot of supplementary income doing night dentistry on the sidewalk. I'm not licensed, but I don't need to be, it's so bright.

To human priorities!

Right, but if we're never changing the clocks, it doesn't matter what offset from solar time we choose. We could make it five hours, nine hours, twelve hours. People would just adjust their schedules to match the daylight hours, irrespective of the numbers on the clock. So why not make it zero hours, since that's what the numbers mean in the first place? 10 AM is "the tenth hour before midday". 3 PM is the "third hour after midday".
