What say you?

I say it's dumb, and we should stop doing it.

Welp, Since I no longer drive, have no perception of time, and my internal clock has decided to throw its springs and gears, It does not matter to me any more.

For all you brothers and sisters out there that have normal lives, work etc, yeah it needs to stop. It is a known fact that when we change time more people have heart attacks, stokes and accidents while driving, working etc. The stress levels greatly increases for everyone. At first when I could no longer keep up with the time it was a huge pain in the ass. Once I accepted the fact that my brain is broke and I quit trying and really never even look at a clock any more it was a huge freeing feeling. Like the weight of the world had been lifted. I know that for the folks that want to live a normal life can't do that but if they would just stick to a set standard instead of this DST BS I think it would help the majority in many many ways. So yeah Stop Doing it is my vote.

So... by this very limited poll, we all agree. It's f*cking stupid and needs to stop.

A long time ago it should have stopped.

When I first moved to Tuscon AZ that was my first experience with no time change. I never really knew how stressful it was and how much better it was with out it till then. From experience I can say it is better than being able to run around your own home in nothing but your draws being comfortable and not having to worry with putting the toilet seat down every dang time.

Keep doing it.

It's a change of pace and inexpensive entertainment.

:-k

if a baby is born at 1:59am and then his twin is born 2 minutes later but the clocks went back so now it’s 1:01am, which is older because the one born second will be older on paper but the one born first is actually 2 minutes older ???

Neither. DST should be year round. This 5PM sunset crap is for the birds. No more fishing after work until March....sux
