    Daylight Savings Time is an antiquated, ridiculous anachronism that has long-outlived any supposed (and mythological) usefulness. All DST does is put an unnecessary burden on American citizens, costing untold billions of dollars in lost productivity and sleep-deprivation-related accidents. No other country in the world indulges in such a misguided practice, for good reason -- it is useless, costly, burdensome, and if you will forgive the pun, a complete waste of time.

    The only group that likes swapping to DST are evening league softball players, they don't deserve special treatment. End DST now!

    In our day and age, day light savings is a very unnecessary and disruptive practice. We don't need it, and people don't want it. It's become something people do simply because they have to, not because they see any real benefit. It messes with people's schedules and sleep twice a year. It needs to go away.

    Daylight saving time is very bad for people's health, and it is stupid. It interrupts our way of life and creats chaos. Please stop this stupid thing, and allow people to enjoy their life with more liberty!

    I say we all go on Greenwich mean time. It is just a number, I do not care if I go to work at 03:00 and it the sun is coming up. It would be less confusing for us that have locations all over the world and set a meeting time at 08:00 my time, your time or whose time?

    This is an outdated practice. Waking up in the dark is not natural and is a waste of tremendous time. Studies and research suggests that the risk of heart attacks increase significantly for majority of people due to their bodies change of sleep pattern. PLEASE PLEASE ABOLISH THIS PRACTICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    A compromise: move the clocks ahead 1/2 hour in the Spring (or back 1/2 hour in the Fall) and leave them alone forever!

    DST has always been a stupid idea...as if human beings can't make up their OWN minds how to get (or avoid) more daylight on their own! It expresses the federal governments attitudes about the Nation's citizens. It was a stupid idea when it was proposed, and now that a large fraction of our commerce and interaction is international, it just a stupid, government-imposed practice that makes life more difficult.

    I lived in a country with no DST for 25 yrs and then moved to the US with DST in place. I have absolutely seen no benefit. On the contrary, there are huge costs to business who have to introduce additional technology just to keep track of it (plus different nations doing it differently only adds to the mess). and most importantly, it messes with my WIFE's sleep. STOP DST.

    Abolish this incredibly stupid practice. Are we that dumb as a species to think we can gain anything from changing the time on our watch? Apparently so.
