daylight saving time algorithm changing

[Warren Myers]

Except metric time would be really weird :)

I personally don't like the metric system outside of soda bottles. Imagine 
buying a liter of milk. It's just not right. I also prefer the 427 V-8 
engines to the roughly equivalent 7.0 liter designation. 

I've also witnessed lots of simple errors in reporting data in the metric 
system (for example, number of watts hitting the human ear for a given 
volume). When you have the decimal point off by one or two in the metric 
system, noticing the error is hard. On the other hand, if you have a decimal 
point off by one or two in the English system, it's generally obvious what 
you're talking about.
