Benjamin Franklin started it as a joke and it has stuck. This stupid Puritan $hit thrust on us all. From wikipedia... 'Robertson Davies, however, detected "the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves",' DST doesn't save $hit, per National Bureau of Standards studies. On the contrary, it causes disruption in our sleep cycles. President Obama, are you listening ? Please stip DST for good ! You are absolutely right on !

I LOVE DST. I have horrible seasonal depression that starts right after the clocks switch from DST back to regular time. I hate how soon the sun sets and I spend the rest of winter depressed. I celebrate the day DST because my mood visibly shifts immediately. Get rid of the other time. I LOVE DST.

I'm not a morning person, so it doesn't matter to me that it's dark later in the morning. But I love that the sun doesn't set until later in the day--it really elevates my mood.

I hate DST. Especially now that I live in Texas. It doesn't start getting light until almost 8! I also have little ones that I need to get in bed early. It's very hard to do that when it's still bright and sunny out in the middle of summer. I need to move to Arizona with my sister! Just wanted to say I agree. I hate DST.
