Dumb Stupid Tradition
...is what I think of DST. We need to get rid of it. Twice a year I
have to reset every clock in my house (except for the one on the
computer...it does it automatically, thank God for programming favors!),
and in the spring, it takes me weeks to adjust to the lost hour. Let's
face it: the days are shorter in winter, longer in summer. Let's just
take them the way God sends them to us and quit tampering with numbers
to try to make it seem otherwise.

Daylight Savings Time
The question is wrong. Daylight Savings Time does NOT create more
daylight. It simply renumbers the hours of the day. Get rid of
daylight savings time.

Daylight Savings
This poll seems to be fixed. It wouldn't let me vote for what I wanted.
I am totally satisfied with daylight savings. We should have it year
around.

day light saving time
I like the extra day light time. I live in Northern Mt. and in june
it is light until 10pm it is just the greatest time of year. I wish it
could be june 19 all year long. The longest day is still something to
look forward to on the 19th. I am not real sure but in Heaven I think
it is day light until 10:30 pm all year just a little longer you know.

Couldn't pick the answer I wanted
I wanted my vote to be "I love the extra daylight" but it wouldn't take
it. Everytime I would hit "submite vote" it would come up with I had to
vote before I submitted. So I had to choose another one just to see the
results. :-(

Daylight Savings Time
I hate it! I never adjust to it which makes me sluggish all summer long.
My natural clock is already far enough out of sync without playing with
the clocks a couple of times a year. It's an outdated idea and I'm
certain no real workaholic saved a dime on lighting. Every business in
the country uses lights no matter what time of day it is.

DST
Ben Franklin originally suggested DST as a way to save money.
Basically, he was reacting to the extravagance of the French
Aristocracy, who spent lots of money on candles to work well into the
night. This is also why he said "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise". Basically, he was encouraging people to
use the daylight hours effectively.
As to the current DST - I don't mind that they moved it earlier into
March, but I'm very upset that they extended it into November. To be
balanced, if we start the 2nd Sunday in March, we should end the 1st
Sunday in October. This would be about 2 weeks to either side of the
Equinox.
In Toledo, Ohio, school starts around 7:30am. I'm very concerned that
students have been travelling to school before sunrise for the last two
weeks.

Duh!
We do NOT get an extra hour of daylight. Oh, how I wish we could
control that. We just have the SAME amount of daylight at different
times on the clock (one hour later than if we did not have DST). I hope
the author of this question is not managing my TFL money.
