An amusing opinion piece opposing DST appeared in Friday's Wall Street Journal. Amusing, because it's entirely based on a misconception. It starts like this: Every November, a great theft is perpetrated against hundreds of millions of innocent people. They are robbed of an hour of afternoon sunlight by the government decree known as daylight-saving time. In other words, the author mistakenly thinks that daylight saving time occurs in the winter, and that standard time occurs in the summer. The writer claims to be opposed to DST, but is actually arguing for year-round DST. Despite being hopelessly confused about DST, the author was nice enough to grab our Robertson Davies quote, presumably from the commentary in the tz database either directly or indirectly. It doesn't get any better than Davies. My source: Foreman A. The bad idea of daylight-saving time.
