From a neighbourly point of view, imagine the hassle of crossing the north/south border - no not Mason/Dixon! - only to find that you have somehow travelled time?
Yeah yeah, who cares, if it makes sense, just do it. As an outsider, and someone who lives in a weird land that doesn't "save" daylight-ever, I just don't think this makes sense.
That's one of the arguments against daylight saving time. It's going to cost the airline industry millions to adjust their schedules to fit the rest of the world. Considering that the US signed an international treaty in the 50s promising to keep daylight saving time to only 6 months a year like the rest of the world our current set up is clearly illegal. But then I suppose we could talk to any number of Native American tribes about our national promises, couldn't we?
