SummerTime: Whose Time Is It?

Everytime it comes to April and October, we often get confused in scheduling due to the summertime clock adjustment. "You mean... OLD hour or NEW,"...we must make sure before write it down in appointment book. Our Ch'ol people, like other indigenous people in Chiapas, do not honor daylight saving system. "It is Fox's," they say. All peasants proudly keep their watches unchanged. In a way, they stubbornly separate themselves from city lifestyle. "We want God's," they convincingly defend their practice, "since God never changes it."
