Geography Div ("does anybody really know what time it is" subsection)

Every year, there's that huge (well, maybe not that huge) discussion about getting rid of "Daylight Savings Time" - I still think we get the same amount  and can't figure out what we're saving it fo - can we use it tomorrow? will it accrue interest?
Anyway, a recent Washington Post and fish wrapper had an interesting article on the elimination of time zones altogether. I guess we'd then have to ask if everyone in the world would have to advance or retard their Mickey and replace their smoke alarm batteries, eh?
