Then use a better text editor. You're doing a bad job of distinguishing between a feature you personally want in an application, and the actual problems associated with storing times. As has been pointed out, there's no such thing as a time without a timezone. '12:30', the thing you want to write, is just a string. Acting like it's more than a string in your application is fine - strings are very flexible - but that's a completely different topic than the one at hand. You don't seem to be grasping this.
