    Medical science has already proven that manipulating the clock is detrimental to the human heart. There is absolutely zero reason to support this ridiculous tradition.

    For all the people complaining that their children will be waiting in the dark for the bus each morning, don't you realize with DST we set the clocks BACK an hour? If sunrise is normally at 7:00am, now it will rise at 6:00am.

    Ban the clock! Get up in the morning and go to bed at night! Start work after you get to your job, and go home when you are done for the day! "Repent, Harlequin!" said the Tick-Tock Man!

    having to change time goes against the biological clock we all have inside us. everytime we change the clock our internal clock is thrown off.

    We are a 24 hour society now, the days of the normal 9 to 5 job are over. Leave the clocks alone, its no benefit to anything other than tradition. And as we all well know, traditions fall fast these days.

    Evan R. from Saint Paul, MN writes: Sam R. from Beverly Hills, CA writes: There should be quarterly 30 minute time adjustments...such an easier system! Seriously Sam you are either at Cal Tech or high. Lets adjust the clock everyday to closer to real sun time. You do understand these are made up norms. The sun comes up people plant crops, hunt and work, the sun goes down they go to sleep and make more hunters. All the rest is Governing BS Hey Evan, this isn't the USSR, so could you cease with the hostilities over someone else's opinion? I think he's on to something here. Instead though, what if we moved forward a certain amount of time at night and then fell back a certain amount of time at night? The times each day would fluctuate so as to guarantee the scientifical preciseness of the time. Not to mention, we'd only be losing time when we're sleeping, and we get to get to add that time back in the middle of the workday. This would really boost productivity and therefore the economy would improve bigly too.

    Turns out, daylight saving time actually USES more daylight... and with the onset of climate change, we can't afford to waste ANY daylight.

    Please end this practice, as it is unnecessary, and the original intent 'to save on candle wax' is no longer applicable. And besides, it is demonstrated to cause additional gasoline consumption, and has other deleterious effects.

    It’s not safe for the children to wait on the school bus in the dark. Also, I have to keep my children up until 11pm if they want to observe the stars, enjoy nighttime campfires, observe lightning bugs, play nighttime childhood outdoor games, in the summertime.
