I haven't seen the standard flurry of news reports warning how changing 
the clock one hour two times a year leads to heart attacks, strokes, and 
all manner of health problems.

across time zones and have to change their clocks three, four, even 
eight hours at a time, we'd have bodies dropping like flies all over the 
globe.
