    DST is one of those laws that tries to fix something that isn't broken. Enough already.

    I'm fine with either Standard time or Daylight Savings time. Please just pick one or the other.

    Don S is right on! It has been in play in some European countries much longer than the U.S....no reason for it here any more!

    Only the government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.

    As many people as answer the question, "Why do we follow DST?" will be the number of different answers given...none of which are justifiable

    Someone need so supply proof that DST actually benefits society. If they can't show proof then it needs to end.

    Conclusive scientific evidence shows that daylight savings time does not conserve energy, it costs lives, money, and productivity. Please put a stop to this silly old concept (originally proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 AS A JOKE!!). Drop daylight savings time.

    I am an office professional, and due to daylight savings time when the winter occurs the sun is constantly down by the time I leave the office. I find it pointless and frustrating.

    Losing an hour in the evening effects tourism, productivity, for the parents worried about there kids standing in the dark. We'll get your lazy butt outta bed and stand there with them. You wouldn't leave your child home alone. So why would you let them stand a bus stop by themselves.

    One scholar said,?Daylight Savings Time effectively transfers an hour of little-used early morning light to evening.? Excuse me, but doesn?t early morning light come from the east? If an hour were truly ?moved? to the evening, we?d have morning sun at suppertime, now wouldn?t we? I, for one, like to use my early mornĀ­ing light in the early morning. To the rationale, lose an hour?s sleep in the spring, gain it back in the fall, I say phooey. I've never known anyone who lolled around for seven months thinking, o-o-oh, just wait until fall when I?ll get back that hour?s sleep I lost! Bring back sundails. There's no 'resetting' them because they tell time the old fashioned way, by the sun!

    It takes me 2 months to readjust after each time change. Leave it alone.
