Answer 2

No one said anything about keeping daylight saving time the year 'round.

The idea of 12-month daylight time was briefly tried in the 1970s and abandoned because in some states the sun wouldn't come up until almost 9 a.m., DST, in December and January.

More recently it was proposed, a sensible plan, to start daylight time at the end of February to run past the Thanksgiving weekend. Astronomically, in late February, the sun is in the same position as it is right now, in mid-October, and no one ever complains about October daylight time. (Except those who just don't like daylight saving time at all, and they're a small minority.)

After objections by some (mainly the slice of the population that doesn't know how to program their VCRs, those who believe that God is against daylight saving time, and people who just don't like an extra hour of light in the evenings, such as muggers), a compromise was reached, starting daylight time on March 11, 2007 and ending it November 4th. It's better than nothing.
