Since I go to Loiusville every now and then, it would be nice to be on the same time as they are for the whole year instead of 6 months out of the year.

At first I really didn't care, but hell next year I'll have an extra hour of sunlight to enjoy after I get off work, I say FUCK YAH DST ROXXOR!!!!!!111oneoneeleventypotato(e)corndog

Daylight saving time (yes, 'saving'...it's singular, get it right) is a waste of time. The sun will rise and set on its own schedule regardless of what number we try to assign to it. Or more accurately, the earth will rotate on its axis and orbit around the sun at its own rate.

Ho you're so silly. Don't you know that everything revolves around earth? Most importantly; everything revolves around ME!

Yeah, but since everyone else does it, it makes sense in this case to conform.

To hell with everyone else. I'm gonna start my own island nation.

Have fun in Hottopicland.

Already been there, not as fun as it used to be.

True. I think DST is useless, but I agree that the fact that we're in a tiny minority that doesn't observe it only leads to unnecessary confusion. Of course my ideal solution would simply be to abolish DST nationwide.

Wowo DST is really a big deal to you guys? I lived with it for 18 years now. Its not bad. Actually its not a big nuisance like you make it out to be. Seriously its hardly noticable

it's extra work you shouldn't have to do. like condoms.

Umm doesn't it actually save energy? If the sun sets an hour later than what you're used too, you would turn on the lights later. Granted its not a big deal in larger cities with adequate power supplys, but my friend used to live in St.Charles and if too much power was being used, they would just cut off power to random residental districts.

As far as I've been following, this is the first major thing he's actually done what he promised to do to begin with. On everything else, he strikes me as a huge hypocrit. Not that it's out of the ordinary for politicians, but it makes me feel good that I didn't vote for him.

I knew that before that sucka got in office- just ask anyone who works at Lilly about the shitty job he did.

Power saving was among the origins of DST in this country. It was designed to save power and resources during wartime by "delaying" sunset by an hour so people wouldn't turn on their lights as long at night.

However, I would say that in this day and age it probably doesn't have the same effect. I think lights are probably among the least power hungry of electrical devices I use daily. Not to mention that most things I'm interested in are not particularly dependent on time of day. I'm a self-proclaimed Great Indoorsman. I enjoy daylight, but I don't often plan my activities around it.

All I'm saying is that DST isn't necessary and therefore I have no use for it. The amount of daylight in a given day is not tied to the numbers we assign and actually varies by more than one hour throughout the year anyway. We can change our habits without changing our time if that's what we're really aiming to do.
