>Well, we were quite well-off for some time in Bolivia, WITHOUT the hassles of DST. Starting September 1, we now have DST, too - for the first time in Bolivian history, I believe. Regular Bolivian time is UTC minus 4, we'll now have UTC minus 3 while DST lasts.

>I checked the Wikipedia article on DST, and there is considerable doubt on whether it actually saves anything. According to some studies, it saves energy, some studies say that actually MORE energy is used (due to increased heating costs), and some say it doesn't make much difference, one way or the other.

We've had the clocks changing for years.

I hate it every year.

We had a short period of not doing it which I loved.
