By exercising DST in March, 6am is artificially dark! That's 5am standard.

6 am? Ha. Here, just before changing the time in the fall, and just after going back to DST in March, our sunrise time is 8:00 am. If that's not ridiculous, I dunno what is.
I say ditch this outdated, useless practice and stick with standard time all year round. States which don't like 4 am sunrises in summer can elect to shift time zones (New England into Atlantic time, for example.)
Those who advocate year-round DST like we had in 1974, should take into account of January sunrise times not taking place until 8:43 am. Nasty dark mornings. Ugh.

Why cant we just split the difference. Adjust the clock 30 minutes and leave it alone.

I remember waiting for the school bus in the morning as a child that year. We stood at the end of the drive in utter blackness, not even the slightest hint of twilight.
I like light in the morning. Leave it on standard time year round, please. I was already getting a little depressed before it changed this year to more morning light. I feel so much better already.

Makes sense, but it'd put us at an half-hour off-shift against most of the world. I suppose it'd not matter much - it'd still be better than changing times 2x a year.

That's a lot of places that would have a 4 AM sunrise in the summer. I think that's the whole point of changing time. So that we aren't seeing sunlight as early as 3:40AM in June on Standard Time, which is 4:40AM DST, Where I live. And if we stayed on it year round, we would have 9:00AM sunrises in December where I live. I think it's necessary to change clocks to put it in sync with seasons.
