Since we observe DST for 7 months, why not just make that the standard time and quit monkeying with the clocks?

The timezones were originally set up so GMT was 0 or noon with the sun at it's highest point. The rest of the time zone were set after that for nautical navigation. It wasn't adopted for land lubbers until the use of railroads.

Seems to me with the widespread use of GPS for navigation and not astral observation maybe they should re-evaluate the time zones so you don't have to keep changing the clock for whatever reasons.
