Do you want daylight savings time?

[Brady]

yes

no

don't know

[nightdrot]

Absolutely, categorically, emphatically YES!!

First, it does, I admit, help that I am a morning person. So getting up an hour earlier is not that big a deal for me.

Leaving that aside, I love the long days - or the illusion of same - and would like them even in the cold dark winter months. Not a fan of fall and winter, so anything that would make them seem just a touch more like spring and summer would be appreciated by me.

Besides, with standard time, you get the worst of all possible worlds. In the dead of winter, it is still dark in the morning and it gets dark earlier - by the clock, of course. Bottom line, either way you get darkness.

Grant that in the winter, daylight savings would make the sunrise later, but in return you would at least get a later sunset.

So put it all together and - on balance - I think year round Daylight Savings Time would be an inspired decision.

... to be scourged from the Earth and exiled to the lowest pits of Tartarus? That's the only way the answer to that question is anything positive. Well, maybe not the ONLY way; Hell would be acceptable, too- it doesn't have to specifically be Tartarus.

If if gets dark too early for you, then WAKE UP EARLIER. Energy saving programs that consume MORE energy don't save it- funny how nobody realizes that who isn't me. Killing thousands of people and costing tens of billions every year for no reason other than to consume more energy is the kind of thing that makes me want to defect from humanity. Standard time, year round.

I'm as far north as it gets, so losing an hour of sleep for no reason is more dangerous than it's worth. People, on average, don't get enough sleep, and driving is more dangerous. We get the same amount of sun in two weeks and too much sun a month later.

It made sense with an energy crisis when the White House was also struggling to heat itself. Just the 24 hours of the internet and how close the globe is to anywhere doesn't justify changing the hour. If it does anything, it will make you appreciate the sun more. For me, I need less; it's already 22 and change; I don't need it in my face an extra hour a month early.

It is nice to have it daylight at ten in the evening and it does save energy and money on energy bills.

[dustybiker2]

Absolutely not.

This sound pompous. I love text.
