More people will die of heart attacks the first week of DST than any other week of the year. Death by government happens every year.

Just leave the damn clock alone. Most of the country is not involved in farming and most of the harvest is mechanized today.

Remember Spring ahead all through 70’s and 80’s as fourth Sunday of April (I see 74 and 75 were Jan and Feb). Then in 87 moved to first Sunday in April. Now second Sunday March well before Spring.

Isn’t #12 a Reagan quote?

My vote goes to Weekend Savings Time®

At 2:00 AM the first Monday in March the calendar is moved forward to 2:00 AM on Friday.
At 2:00 AM on the first Tuesday in October, the calendar is moved back to 2:00 AM on Friday.

You heard it here first

It’s a stupid twice-a-year exercise. But there’s no better solution being suggested.

Keep DST all year-around.

Like snowbirds spending winters in Florida, people who don’t like daylight saving time can spend their April - October months in Australia where daylight savings time changes are reversed.

Blame the annual variation in daylight hours on the 23.5° tilt of the Earth’s axis relative to its orbital plane.

If you can get people to believe that “noon” is not necessarily when the sun is at its highest in the sky, you can get them to believe that “marriage” is not necessarily between a man and a woman.

DST. Love it. They should move the clock 2 hours forward.

I like DST for many reasons and there's no convincing me to change my mind.

When the clock says 7 o’clock in the morning, my body says it’s 6 o’clock, and the dogs say it’s breakfast time.

Think I can teach the dogs to tell time?

Now that I am retired, I don't have to deal with the sun rising at 4:30 am and setting at 8 pm.

On the longest mid-summer days, in my area you get home from work, let's say 5:30 and you and the family can be outside until 9:30 when it is finally dark. Why give that up?

The change never bothered me, but for those who are bothered, get up a half-hour earlier (or later on Saturday) and another half-hour on Sunday and you'll more prepared for Monday morning. Is that so hard?

I think all this, “saving” daylight has caused global warming!
I prefer moonshine! The country needs moonshine!

Would you rather live in China where the communist bastards have forced the entire nation to live on the same time?

DST is about state rights! Any state can opt out as Arizona and Hawaii have chosen to do!
