It doesn't bother me at all. To me it signals spring is coming which makes me happy

I personally see no use for it continuing. To be honest, when it changes in the fall I hate it because it gets dark so early. I would rather it be dark when I am half-asleep in the morning.

I love Daylight Savings!! An extra hour of light after work...


I still never understood why people think that farmers had anything to do with Daylight Savings, they're actually the one group that really hates the system...

Daylight savings time caused global warming! Do away with it, now!

I, too, love daylight savings time. I am a light-seeker, although I hide from the direct sun! Use that #45 sunscreen everybody and enjoy your extra hour of daylight this evening!! Whoopeeee!

Gotta go put the beans in. Just finished the plowing!

I don't answer biased polls. Kinda like those in place for the elections.

The only good thing about DST starting earlier than it used to is that my cats aren't waking me up at 4:00 a.m. for the next three weeks! Other than that, DST is useless. I can't believe the idiot congressman who proposed this. It does not give us "more sunlight"! The amount of sunlight is fixed, finite. All DST does is shift it from one end of the day to the other. I have to be at work at 6:30 a.m. every day. I just love driving the work when it's pitch black out.
