1. the far left always know whats best for us all
zionist forever   (03.28.13)
If the far left say something is immoral then we must listen to them because they know what is best for everybody and so what they want must be what everybody else wants. If you bring the haredi into the equation then it goes from being not only an issue of morality but an issue of national survival. If we don't do as they want then the whole country is heading toward disaster because there is haredi involvement. Shas wants DST to be earlier to try make fasts like Yom Kippur easier, Meretz want to be like Europe and after Lapid they are the people who hate religious Jews most. What we really need to do is get rid of DST altogether, there are very few is any real benefits but there are disadvantages such as the fact we all loose an extra hour in bed in the morning and its just all very inconvenient changing clocks. I find it very difficult to believe that if it gets darker 1 hour earlier we are going don't have DST based on the secular calendar we are going to have an influx of traffic accidents. I also doubt that 1 hour or sunlight means so much to everybody in a country where it suns virtually every single day, the public are not being derived of their sunlight. Time to introduce a law banning DST and lets just keep the clocks running the same all year round and if people want an extra hour of sunlight then let them wake up 1 hour earlier.

Someone please explain to me how DST actually helps the Yom Kippur fast? The same duration of the fast - 25 hours - exists regardless of the clock change, and the same amount of daylight and heat exists despite the clock change.
