Daylight saving time bill stalls again in US Senate

17. This is a different era

where you have more abductions - and that includes by ex-'s and other family members with beefs.

Most kids are either walked or driven to school by family members--even in the poorer neighborhoods.

Disagree. In the poorer neighborhoods, they don't always own a car (or it may have been repo'd or is out of commission), so the parents use public transit. And with a number of schools that have been closed due to funding issues (like here in Philly), there are middle/junior highs that are not really close and the school district has no money for a school bus.

As I noted, the lighting infrastructure is NOT there in many urban areas. The assumption has been that because these cities are "dense" then there is plenty of light but that light mostly goes up into the sky contributing to light pollution and there are many more places for perps to hide. And you can add those areas where some children will actually ride a bike to school - and doing so in the dark increases the chance of a stolen bike and/or getting hit by a car like a deer.

An increase of children being hit by cars going to school in the dark was one of the biggest issues that finally triggered some sense to get rid of that bullshit under Nixon.
