[tz] Article proposes end of DST, adds interesting historic reference

[Steve Jones]

Interesting/amusing article on Fox News this morning (using the
wayback machine link to reduce the oppressive spam:
https://web.archive.org/web/20171104061246/http://www.foxnew
s.com/opinion/2017/11/04/its-time-for-daylight-saving-time-
to-fall-back-forever.html

The best part was a link to an old gizmodo article containing a
well-researched historical reference to  Ben Franklin's original proposal
for a DST-like policy:
https://gizmodo.com/ben-franklins-daylight-saving-time-proposal-was-writte-
1456363759

Further clicking led me to the full letter from Ben:
http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/franklin3.html

which I think is tz-art worthy.
