I still refuse to accept that entering DST before the Spring equinox is in any way sane.

[2ndAmForComputers]

Come ON! The days are still shorter than the nights! Give me a fucking break.

1. I love it.

I can live with it coming before spring equinox, I love longer sunlight in the evenings.

[Tabasco_Dave]

9. Me too!

I work inside all day i love that extra hour of sunlight when i come home.

[boston bean]

13. Certainly helps!

I concur! that extra hour or so, makes me feel alive again! Would rather have a bit more of darkness in the morning when I'm sleeping, or just waking up.

2. In Arizona we don't have that problem but...I agree

[Gore1FL]

10. You have Brewer so it's a push. n/t

[Swede]

16. Same as here in Saskatchewan.

Network tv time jumps around is the biggest shift I see.

[Trajan]

3. Aint that big of a deal ....

Why get so emotional about it ?

[2ndAmForComputers]

4. Getting up to work when it's pitch black makes me miserable.

I guess you could call that "emotional."

[NutmegYankee]

18. Hell, in the winter I enter and leave work in the dark

I only see the sunlight through the windows.

5. I liked what one Native American leader said about DST:

"Only the US government could think that you could cut a foot off one end of a blanket and sew it to the other end and make it longer."

Brilliant insight!

[etherealtruth]

8. Brilliant, indeed! n/t

[DLevine]

14. Words of wisdom. n/t

[City Lights]

15. !

[lonestarnot]

19. He he he.

[DLCistheGOP]

6. If the Majority of America obtained lights from candels

and whale oil DST would make sense.

Today not so much.

[Bluenorthwest]

22. Yes, today our energy sources are clean and eternal, so if we use more it does not really

matter!

[BumRushDaShow]

7. I AGREE!

This is AWFUL. We might as well stay on this time all year. I'm sick of this.

I remember back in the '70s under Nixon going to school with damn flashlights in the morning and this is not much different.

[Gore1FL]

11. I hate this whenever it might happen. n/t

[City Lights]

12. I despise DST.

[2ndAmForComputers]

23. I actually don't, but early March is way too much.

Should be from two months before solstice to two months after.

[Brickbat]

17. Agreed, although I hate DST whenever it happens.

[joeybee12]

20. I forgot all about it...

Saw my cell phone and said WTF!

Way too early this year.

[NutmegYankee]

21. I understand why we go to DST

I get up at 4:30 typically, and I notice that it gets rather bright outside in the summer. The sun rises at around 5 o'clock in June. Without DST, this rise would be at 4:00 AM, when most of the country is asleep. The idea is to move our time to not waste all of that daylight for times when we are sleeping.

[rebecca_herman]

24. as a bad sleeper, I hate it

It's hell for me to adjust, and I imagine it's the same for anyone else with sleeping problems. I don't care which time but I wish they'd just pick a damn time and stick to it all year round.
