Me! Pick one and stay with it--it's useless now.

Daylight savings time was originally started so that the farmers could work longer hours, but now that everything is mechanized, is it really necessary?
People say that by moving it ahead two weeks we would save more energy, but I'm using more energy in the morning, the same amount I would be in the evenings.
If we did away with daylight savings, it would still stay light later, just not until 8 or 9.
I think that is an antiquated tradition that should be done away with. Arizona suffers no ill effects from not changing time, and they don't have a bunch of people late for work that Sunday or Monday the time changes.

I look at the clock and whatever time it says it is. Daylight Saving Time does not bother me in the least. Sorry some people have so much trouble with it.

I wish we would get rid of Daylight Savings Time. There's the loss of sleep when we spring forward and then extra sleep when we fall back, why not stay the same? Just think, we wouldn't have to set all our clocks back.

Evidently there are a number of people who think it is not good including Hawaii, Arizona, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and a lot of people in Indiana. Personally I'd like to remain on DST all the time. All this switching back and forth reminds me of a bunch of sexual deviants.

Standard or daylight savings, they should just pick one and leave it that way for good. Instead of moving foreword or back a hour, why don't they just split the difference by a half hour and leave it in the middle. :)

I like the sun being out till 7pm or later! I think DST should be all year. Or maybe we could put giant mirrors in space to reflect sunlight down till around 9pm.
I wonder how that would affect global warming?

I think it should go away. Mainland U.S. is the only ones who do it. I loved living in Hawaii with no daylight stupid time.

Yeah, it's a waste of time.
If we really want more light, we should just tilt the earth's axis in our favor. Of course that would hose the southern hemisphere a bit...
