Daylight Savings Time. Whenever we set the clocks back, I always find it a little enjoyable to have an extra hour during the weekend.

What about you?

While I do like that extra hour of sleep, I don't like losing that hour of daylight in the evening. Especially living in Ohio, when the weather starts turning sour around this time of year. I look forward to springing ahead. In fact, I say we should leave it alone!

'enjoy'?

No.

[Nor does it bother me - sheesh, it's just an hour - I'm perpetually amazed by the overly-dramatic who act like they're being asked to give up a kidney rather than simply resetting a few clocks and dealing with one 23-hour day and one 25-hour day every year]

I do like the results of it (the synchronzation of sunlight with the waking/active period of the majority of the populace).

It's an extra hour at the bar, what's not to like about it?

I like the extra hour I get when turning my clock back, but it is a stupid thing that we continue to do and should be done away with.

Borrowing an hour of daylight in the evening to put it in the morning is not fun for me. I would rather we stay on the +1 cycle all year.

Most of the polls I've seen would rather stay on DST all year.

I know I would. I hate when we go from getting dark at 6:30PM to 5:30PM.

When I was young, I enjoyed it. Now, it's not much more than something to mention in passing.

I'm surprised 0bama hasn't done away with it. It's something he could do that the majority of America would support. It could be a "see how great and powerful I am" moment for him. Think about how his lickers would swoon over his ability to permanently change the sands of time!

I think we should do away with it, but it's such a normal pay off or society now, many businesses will do it anyway, it would likely cause mass confusion
