It was incredibly depressing heading out for school in the dark every day.<br /><br />MK Tirosh shows little compassion for working people who don't have free cars and drivers as the Knesset member, riding buses in the dark every day. And what about the havoc this will wreak for shift workers?

G-d gave us the seasons the way they are - it must be good. Why change it.<br /><br />And all the nonsense about saving money to the economy. What have you done with the few shekels/dollars you've saved supposedly - I know it all adds up to a few million shekels but that breaks down into a few shekels a piece.daf neighbornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-53437499153349311732010-08-23T15:09:19.354+03:002010-08-23T15:09:19.354+03:00besides the idea of the 2 weeks, the rest of the y...besides the idea of the 2 weeks, the rest of the year being on DST is reasonable?Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-86744778514428746392010-08-23T14:40:54.285+03:002010-08-23T14:40:54.285+03:00Dumbest.

Of course it would affect religious people a lot, the earliest you could start davening would be quite late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
