And it doesn't do any good anyways. The sun pretty much takes care of itself.

Some studies are coming out showing that daylight savings time actually wastes more energy, so go figure. This relic from the Carter administration really should go away IMO.

The farmers are going to be out doing what they need to do based on the light in the sky, regardless of what the clock says. I live in the north. Without daylights savings time, I'd still see sunlight until almost 9pm in the summer time. With daylight savings, it goes until damn near 10.

Most people are using more lights in the morning instead of the evenings anyways, so at best, it's a needless wash and excercise.

I love it too, but the day length remains the same, one way or t'other - sleep time just gets shuffled such that there is more light in the evening hours.

I love it. Bring on the long days, especially as the days get warmer. I wouldn't be opposed to DST year round though .

We should just do what Benjamin Franklin actually proposed... Firing cannons down the streets to wake people up early!
