[Shotimes] Re: OT Indiana Goofy Time

[Zach Leahy]

I think it's a problem of the masses.  I think most people are used to
it and think it's _right_.  It's not, but they have never actually
thought about it.  They look at Indiana and say "They are stupid for
not following the crowd and doing DST, when they don't even really
understand it and why you would or would not want it.  The masses
believe in popularity, and popularity ahs DST as the right way.

FIGHT THE SYSTEM!!!!

I really hope the bill to put us on DST fails.  I hope people stop and
think about what it does.
