As an amateur astronomer, I have become a passionate hater of daylight saving time and standard time because I believe they are unnatural measurements of the time of day. Therefore, I set my clock to the true solar time of the north-south line that runs through the middle of my house. I still have to operate on the legal time because everyone else does, but I don't believe a clock should tell a different time than the sun indicates. When my clock reads noon, it really is noon by the sun. I also don't think that the federal government has any moral right to tell people how to reckon the time of day. I understand that as travel became faster, there was pressure to standardize time, but should commerce be put before nature or the other way around?
