A bill going through Congress would extend daylight savings time by a month so that the time change would be in effect from mid-March to November. Obviously, the energy savings would be extraordinary, but have you realized the other benefits?

Crime would go down because according to Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass), criminals "don't work very well when it's light out and they don't like to wake up early either."

Markey goes on to say that on Halloween, "children trick-or-treating could go door-to-door to collect their candy in the safety of daylight." Yep, nothing expresses the frightening aspects of Halloween than the bright sun melting your candy away.
