IMO we should have one timezone for the entire word. Who cares if people wake at different times based on location? It makes more sense than changing clocks.

China does this so that everyone is on Beijing time. From what I have heard of people I know that have been all over China, it is like guys in the military using "Zulu" time where the time on the clock has less meaning than the day/night conditions. Time zones are practical and necessary. Randomly switching the time forwards and backwards can be thrown on the dustbin of history where it belongs.
