#3Is there still a valid reason to have timezones altering between states? is it just for agriculture?
While we're, talking about changing time monitoring systems, can't we have 13 months with 28 days each? (and an extra day every 4 years added on to december?) :(
Simple things, but that would allow us to follow the lunar cycle.

I asked farmers about this. They said it was stupid now that we have electricity. And even then, with the shorter days.. it was still stupid. (I'm quoting them)

I wish people would quit repeating the farmer myth. No farmer I have met wants daylight savings time. Look at Indiana for some perspective. Farm animals do not have watches.

Our timezone/calendar system is convoluted, but that's because there are inherent issues with any calendar reform. I recommend looking at the following articles:
http://qntm.org/abolish ("So you want to abolish time zones")
http://qntm.org/calendar ("You advocate a ________ approach to calendar reform")
