Amusing to see that Richard Clarke after being "clubbed" by the bush cheney cabal while he warned the USA would show up under the auspices of ABC now warning the USA about this problem. Does anybody really know what time it is?

at one time people saw the world as flat - a straight line and
when they conceived of the universe, it was imagined
that our earth was the center
- time was also seen as a line

then it became understood that our earth was not a straight line,
but in fact a circle and in fact we were not the center - then someone invented a clocka and time became a circle too

but time is a line

we’ve been programmed to experience time in a circle i.e. sun, mon, tues, wed, thurs, fri, sat, sun, mon... etc -

but time is a line

last monday truthfully has nothing to do with this monday or next monday for that matter

and there’s really not too much difference between a plush doorman apartment on park avenue and a cell on riker's when you really step back and think about it - the question is still the same..... what do you do with the time?

from the moment we are born - time is all we have

when we younger.... it seemed time moved so slow..... the older we get it seems time is moving faster and faster - the reality is that time hasn’t changed.... it is still a line.... our perception of it has changed.... the statement" I don’t have the time" is evidence of this profound misperception

so what time is it going to be?..... when?

is this meaant to address global warming?... thats like putting a band-aid on a shotgun wound.... I guess every little bit helps

welcome to the honkey tonk bar.....association

I think you need to verify Clarke's wild (and I think technically naive) claims about how all these transportation systems work and are synchronized. As a distributed systems engineer working on this nation's most complex systems, I found much of Clarke's claims ridiculous.

AJ,

Richard Clarke was right when he warned USA about the "losers" in the whitewash house and nobody listened. Now you might be correct that he is wildly wrong about this...and I bet we all believe him this time since ABC is backing him up...so he needs a story now as ABC don't like to field experts unless they come up with the needed "bona fides"...ala gorgeous georgie steppie stepanofalafalous

Anyone really believe that changing the daylight savings time to three weeks early will really be of benifit to the country? The expense of the change doesn't seem worth it. Wonder how many non-upgradable devices will have to be corrected twice now. Once at the new change date, and again at their built in programmed change date. Lots of digital clocks built into stuff from DVD players to digital clocks that will have to be manually updated for their remaining life.

writing utensil (your choice) something to write on (your choice) worked good enough for thousands upon thousands..........before the new age of computers to completely rule our entire lives. Oh wait!!! forgot the most important missing link - COMMON SENSE. Seems that one thing stopped getting dished out in the new age genes.

Maybe I'm wierd (be gentle people), but the time change always throws off my internal clock - the difference between what the clock says and what I see by the sun just befuddles me.

I hate the time changes - I wish government would leave us alone. I don't want to change the time so we can save 100,000 barrels of oil every day. Why aren't there better solutions that don't require screwing everyone's internal clocks off?

When Government can't find solutions they change the clocks.

Daylight savings time is about the most rediculous example of stupidity, I will still get up in the dark and leave for work in the dark and get there in the dark. It used to be pleasent to see the sun come up on the way to work in the spring, before daylight savings hit.

Who are they trying to kid, all we have to do is go by the sun time and every one go to work one hour eariler.

Will this cause any break downs in personal computer virus protection and security ?

I have never felt that daylight savings time was worth the trouble. We should just skip the whole thing.

Just stay home on MARCH 11&12th..........Just another complacent federal threat!!!? THAT'LL FIX IT. ;-)

Another bright idea from the Republican party. Keeps us from finding out real news like the new defense deals Putin just got with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

don't out elected officials have something better to do? maybe by messing with the clocks,the current war will end or maybe the changing of the clocks will slow global warming...hmmm...yea,thats it!

What a bunch of crybabies! I only started reading this ABC site in the last few days, thinking I would see a new perspecive on the news. Instead, all I see is a bunch of whiners who want to blame our president and vice president for everything from global warming to their sore feet. Grow up.

This is what you get from the laziest congress ever to sit in government. Big woop, so we save 100,000 barrels of oil a year. That's nothing. Why not inact legislation to force auto makers to increase gas efficiency in SUVs and trucks. We have the technology. But noooo, that would take money out of the pockets of rich republican backers.

I'm glad I live in Arizona. ;-)
