[time-nuts] The future of UTC

[Jose Camara]

	If you keep going farther from the equator, than it makes no sense
after a while. Above the Artic Circle, when you get 24hrs of daylight, what
is the need? And when you get no daylight in a day, should you wake up at
sunrise?	

	I just don't agree that the government has to step in and 'make
sluggards wake up early'. What if the sluggards and drunks would honk their
horns at 1am to get more people to party at the bars? :-)

The amount of time to move the clock depends on how far north you
live.  Days being even longer at high latitudes.  I think one hour is
a compromise.  There have been proposals to do what they call "double
daylight saving time"
