I will be ticked if they make us change to Chicago time. We are just as economically tied to Cincinnati and New York as we are Chicago--even more so in my case. I don't want it to be daylight at 4:00 am and dark at 4:00 pm when the kids walk home from school. It's next to impossible to get anything done outside in the evening after work. When I was a kid we could play outside until late in the evening. If it gets dark even earlier, the kids will have even less outside time. It's no wonder they are all couch potatoes. They can't play out after dark.

How about we apply a little logic to this baloney. The Earth is divided into 24 time zones, If you followed these zones central time would start in the middle of Ohio.

If we don't want to follow the meridians let's just have one time zone for the whole damn country.
