    Daylight Saving Time IS an antiquated practice and no longer useful to anyone. All it serves to do is give us jet lag twice a year. The United States needs to abolish this outdated practice.

    We never did this for farmers as they work from sun up to sun down never looking at a clock. We never voted on this ever, let's vote. Probably Russia won't interfere!

    DST is unnecessary, disruptive to circadian rhythms and plunges school children into darkness each morning for an additional month. Abolish it federally.

    We are already destructively interfering in nature. Isn't this enough ? Why continue with an antiquated, senseless practice, which makes us literally sick. It is truly a nightmare! Longer days using your Daylight Savings here in Florida are a real torture. Do something good for us and STOP THE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!

    The earlier the sunlight during the day, the easier it is to start the days and have an efficient morning. Darkness slows everyone down.

    In addition to releasing us from the burden of having to set our clocks every few months, this will also reduce the number of time zones in the United States from four to two. Thus, for example, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Dallas will now all be operating on the same time, and people will no longer have to adjust to different time zones when they do business or travel between any of these cities. Also, we'll be able to get rid of those annoying television schedules that say "8:30 PM/7:30 Central", since the Eastern time zone will be the same as the Central time zone. Further, people traveling or doing business between the East and West coasts will only have a two hour time difference to contend with, instead of the three hour difference with which we are currently burdened.

    During Harding's misguided DST experiments, The Washington Post wrote this: "Cities and states could, of course, effect the same saving of daylight by simply keeping the clock on sun time and starting the day's work an hour earlier than customary." Farmers couldn't have agreed more. They already got up early and took advantage of daylight hours, so they didn't need an imposed, time-shifting system. They railed against the practice from the very beginning. Even more troubling, some scientists wonder if DST deleteriously affects human health. A German chronobiologist -- someone who studies natural physiological rhythms and other cyclical phenomena -- has shown that our circadian body clocks never adjust to daylight saving time. According to his research, moving clocks forward and back again interrupts normal sleep cycles, causing a sort of perpetual jet lag that leads to decreased productivity and quality of life and increased fatigue and susceptibility to illness. That's not the worst of it. Swedish researchers examined heart attack rates in Sweden since 1987 and found that the number of heart attacks rose about 5 percent during the first week of daylight saving time. They published their results in the Oct. 30, 2008, issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, saying that disrupted sleep patterns may be linked to the cardiac episodes.

    Please end daylight savings time. It causes our children to have to stand in the dark and wait on their bus. If you must infringe on our time, please wait until after the schools close for summer break. Besides, farmers now have lights on their tractors so it is no longer needed.

    If DST can be changed to each year to accommodate the whims of the officials, then it can be done away with all together. I am so tired of resetting the time clocks that automatically "know" when the time is supposed to change and "that" got changed. It is useless to have atomic clocks where the time changes weeks in advance or after we manually change it. Stop disrupting everyone's lives. I haven't heard from one single person that it benefits. God created time, and I believe He knew what He was doing.
