...and leave it there. I don't care for "falling back".

daylight savings time

By bpieroni

here in New England i would like to see DST all year long. Yes, going to work in the dark is not fun but i like to see the sun on the way home. We can do without all that nasty adjustment time in the spring as well.

stop changing!

By P Simon

Hate the changing, especially for the last two years since they made the period between changes so much shorter

Put everyone on Standard Time

By Warren M Stone

Put everyone on Standard Time and leave it there

prefer natural sunrise sunset

By Cheri Powell

Get rid of daylight savings time. The only thing it does is disrupt sleep times. Arizona doesn't do it. the original reason for having it is long gone - farmers needed the adjustment (I'm not really sure why).

back in the early 1900, there

By Sereta Winkle

back in the early 1900, there was no tracters needed daylight to plow with the horses and mule. When the tractors came out there was no headlights on them. Now there is everything that you need on the tractors and combines.

Do away with it

By missyedwrds

Seems like the sunset & sunrise adjusts itself anyway, why adjust the time. Gets dark too early in the fall/winter & even worse when we turn back the clocks 1 hour!

Daylight Savings Time

By Elizabeth Farkas

Just whose time are we really 'saving' by having DST?
I think it is more of a waste than not. I love a quote I read somewhere, it may have been from the Farmer's Almanac. A farmer was asked what he thought of daylight savings time and he replied,...
well, cows can't count!
I feel the same way. When the afternoon sun begins its descent, the animals in my backyard, as I observe are all getting their last minute snacks before returning to their nests for the night. My cats are crowding the kitchen door for their nightly meal. Nocturnal animals, by their very nature, are beginning to wake up with the setting of the afternoon sun.
Daylight savings time is just another way that government and people are trying to put their control on nature. It does no one any real good.

Daylight Savings Time

I, too, loved the cow quote. Nature does fine without our silly interference.

You are right about that.

By Sereta Winkle

You are right about that. Nature takes care of itself. Humans need to leave time alone and let the balance of nature to continue.

DST

Another one who recognizes the absurdity of Daylight Saving Time!

Hear! Hear! I love the cow

Hear! Hear! I love the cow quote. :)

Daylight savings time

By Cajun Girl

I love it! It gives me more time to be outside working, or fishing.

No time gained.

By CousinLinda

It doesn't change the amount of time you have, it simply changes the clocks.

Daylight saving time

By Daniel Hulseapple

So what does changing the clocks got to do with that? If you like the early morning hours,then get up and hour earlier, and leave the clocks alone. I get up the same time whether its summer or winter, only in the winter it appears to be an hour earlier than in the summer. 7am EST time is the same as 8am EDST. Personally, I;d just move the clocks back 1/2 hour this fall, then chuck the matter of changeovers.

Daylight Savings Time

By Larry Shelton

I love the extra daylight in the summer time, it is Great.

Hours of daylight

By Daniel Hulseapple

Changing the clocks has nothing to do with the number of daylight hours in the summer. That is just the way it happens to be as a result of the tilt of the earth's axis in conjunction with the location of the sun. Changing the clocks doesn't add a single second to a day, or detract a single second. We need standard time for each time zone which does not change. Period.

Hours of Daylight

By Shelby Snider

I agree with Dan. There are the same hours of daylight whether it is daylight saving time or standard time. Only people are controlled by clocks not nature.

you are absolutely right and

By Jenni Epperly

you are absolutely right and playing with the time back and forth serves no purpose at all!

You are correct about that.

By Sereta Winkle

You are correct about that.

Daylight Saving Time

By James Tate 2

It gets too dark too early as it is. Let's just leave it here and dispense with this Spring forward/Fall back nonsense.

Daylight Savings

By Pamela Vincent

Goodbye! Only part of the world recognizes it and now the USA is doing it at different times than the rest of the world. Just stop changing the clocks.
