It needs to be gone. To me it is tied for most nonsensical outdated policy (with the Cuba embargo). Come on this is TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN. Daylight savings and that Cuba embargo are no longer necessary.
I love it staying light later in the day, but i hate losing the hour. I also dislike giving up that hour in the winter.....its depressing when it gets dark at 430 pm.
So move to Fairbanks in the summer and to Tierra del Fuego in the winter and leave the rest of us the alone
I'm baffled by those who find Daylights Savings so onerous.
Losing one hour in the middle of weekend? Then gaining that hour back seven months later? Big deal...
Have you ever considered the logic of have 7 months DST and only 5 months of standard time. Good heavens!
What was wrong with the Jube-Sept DST of thge past? That actually made sense.
PS why dont folks like you move to Alaska in the summer and Tierra del Fuego in the winter? That way you get what you want and you can leave the rest of us alone.
If we didn't go on DST, then it would be light out before 4:00 a.m. here in Denver Nobody would want that!
Maybe we should have 48 time zones so we can satisfy more and more of those who seem to have no connection with the natural order of things.
Maybe you might like John McPhee's The Control of Nature. It tells stories of us human's thinking we can actually control the natural order of things, and some of the results.

It's light out at 5 in Arizona during summer and stays light out until 9 without DST. Arizona is the perfect example of DST not working at all. Plus the supposed benefit of reduced fatigue if it was extended is mixed. Some believe it is true, others believe it is more biological than seasonal light issues.
