Another View: Make yearlong standard time the template nationwide again

I’m one of the many Americans who hate being forced to time-shift twice a year. After only four months on standard time, daylight saving time returns with a vengeance on Sunday, when 2 a.m. abruptly becomes 3 a.m.

Only residents of Arizona (with the exception of those living on the land reserved for the Navajo Nation, which is compelled to follow Washington’s timekeeping edicts), Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico and other outlying U.S. territories will not have their body clocks jolted by time suddenly “springing forward” one hour.
