Might as well try to corrall them all in one place.

Please dump the bogus saving of daylight.
Stay on standard time.

Don't you know that DST is Racist?

That fact will cause it to be canceled.

B..b..but it gives more daylight! (Someone had to say it, so I'll take one for the team)

In the afternoon, perhaps, but if you ever experienced DST in the NYC area in February (as happened to me in the early-mid 70's..), you'll want to keep Standard time. I need the daylight more in the mornings than the afternoons. Helps me wake up. I even recall visiting Seattle once in the November time frame. Much further north than NYC in latitude, and the effects of daylight are much more pronounced. It got dark at like 4:10p. But I got used to it, after a while. Not that much different than NYC (getting dark at 4:50p at the same time). But to wake up to dark, wait for the school bus in the dark, arrive at school in the dark, and see sunrise only after your first class begins, HORRENDOUS!

Sorry, just the opposite here.

I know all about those, which was the point of the parenthetical statement. Erroneously, I thought a "/s" was unneeded.
Standard time is standard because the 12 noon is correct to the position of the sun.

I thought this topic was banned?

Dude, I grew up in Maine, your WhaaaaWhaaaa crying about getting up in the dark in NYC or Seattle is meaningless. On top of that I had to get up around 5 AM to deliver papers.

It's winter, deal with it.

Your own words " It got dark at like 4:10p. But I got used to it, after a while. Well you'd get used to getting up in the dark too for some light to get things done in the afternoon.

We live in Fla now, let the sun shine in, on DST!!!!

And, had I grown up in Maine like you, I probably *would* have gotten used to it like you. I didn't. We all have different experiences. No one's is "better" than another's.

Where there's not much change at all in re: of daylight vs. darkness due to seasonal change. FL being a lot lower in latitude than NYC or Maine. So it really wouldn't matter all that much, here. Still, I'd rather have more in the morning.
