Daylight Savings Time

Jordan's daylight savings time doesn't start until the end of March so for the next couple of weeks we are only 6 hours ahead of DC. Last week, we also received a memo at work that said that Iraq will not be observing daylight savings time this year. It makes you wonder if with everything that is happening there daylight savings time seemed like too much of a hassle.

I'm finding it hard to get around the concept that "standard" time is now being used less than 5 months of the year, while the "special" time (aka daylight savings) is being used at least 7 months out of the year. If something is used for less than the majority of the time, hell less than a plurality of the time, how can it be considered "standard"?
