Weird... I say we screw daylight saving time completely. Do you know how much of a pain it is for server admins?! AHHHHH.
Daylight saving time is so 1944, time to scrap it!

Time confuses me. I should become an Amish and just stare at the sun until my eyes melt. Then it'll be nighttime all day.

I think that the US tries to fix something that isn't broken. Daylight saving time works fine so the goverment shouldn't change it.

I quite like DST actually. After the clocks change its amazing the stretch in the evening you feel.

The evening is still the same though, does it matter if it happens at 7 or 8?

But it seems like it gets darker later, which is great.

DST is a good thing, i don't see why it needs to be changed though, i don't think they'll be helping the farmers much more, and the government should have more important things to worry about.

Daying-saving time will start three weeks earlier and end one week later in 2007. Canada could follow.
CNN.com - Longer daylight saving may cause trouble - Aug 8, 2005
Daylight-saving time should die.

DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!! Yes it should!
DST is a PIA as a server administrator. It screws up logging time stamps, and causes other issues like that.

Let's just go with daylight savings time because if we don't, we'll be late (or early) for everything and you won't know what's going on.

That's why you get rid of it, less confusion. So you don't have to worry about forgetting and ending up being late or early.
LOL that reminds me, it's happened to people where they got to my church an hour late and were wondering why people were leaving.
