I hate it. Mornings should be bright and early every day.

I'm with most previous posters. We should be living on DST all year. We live on it the majority of the time already.

What about you?
Better enjoy it while you can ... I think I heard Bill O'Tidely(O'Reilly) predict the sun will run out of gas Sunday..

I enjoy it because continental Europe is more enjoyable when it's cold and dark outside. I love it. It just feels very...Germanic.

Yes, I do love it.

We get extra long hour of daylight for 7 months of the year, and then one hour less daylight to enjoy Christmas lights longer.

Look at Arizona, it gets dark by 7:30 pm in June rater than 8:30 pm like NYC since they do not observe it. Very stupid

Changing clocks twice a year is the dumbest thing the government has ever mandated.

It's called winter. Well, if you didn't observe it then it would have been dark outside still by 8 AM rater than 7 and you enjoy Christmas lights less.

I think it's a stupid idea but I've grown accustomed to it, so I would rather keep things the way they are now.

Stupid. No wonder why it got dark before 8 PM in the summer over there! Too early sunset and too early unnecessary sunrise.
