March 13, we will have 11hours 55minutes 52seconds between sun rise and sunset.
Daylight saved 1minute 39seconds sort of. The worst is the astronomical noon was 1:40.

How about this?
GTF outta here. That is worse than DST! Get rid of it like Indiana and the other states did. Florida don't need no stinkin' federal approval. F*CK'em!

As much as I hate the Chicoms, they have it right on time zones. One fuckin time zone for the entire country. There, now nothing to complain about.
If you complain - off you go to the Gulag re-education camp! F*ck the Chi-Coms and their minions, the brain dead zombie libitards in charge here.

Momentum is gathering for sure. The current energy crunch helps (those of you old enough to remember the 70s may recall the moves then, but that was temporary).

I never understood the point of DST, though it seemed to be enacted as some dumb way to more productivity out of the work force during the winter and simplify paperwork so you wouldn't have to change employee shift starting times throughout the year.
um.....standard time is what we have in the winter months, we just changed to DST............for the summer
and agree with 45caldan.......pick one and stick with it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s my view on this. For me it’s no big deal changing the clocks. But for me, full time DST is the WORST. For those with 8-5 jobs, during the winter you’d have to get up, & drive to work in the dark. That would totally SUCK!! Matter of fact, over the years I remember thanking God when we went back to EST in the fall for that reason. So full time DST would TOTALLY SUCK, while full time EST would be OK. I can certainly live with the sun going down at 7:30 instead of 8:30 during the summer. But if I was still working, I could not deal with the sun coming up at 8 AM. So I wonder if those crusading for full time DST have 8-5 jobs. Any state that hates changing the clocks has the right to blow off DST. And while the Fl Gov’t has voted for full time DST, the Fed’s have to OK it. So if Florida hates changing the clocks twice a year, they can simply vote to go full time EST, but for some reason unknown to me, they don’t. Wonder why? GARY.

EST is part of God's time. We've become a Godless nation. The Antichrist is going to run amok in our land with DST, and we will be destroyed with him accordingly.
