Some of you like backward or forward ahead of the clock. Tell me why you like? For me don't mind but confuse day and night. :ugh2:
 
I don't like it at all. I would like to keep the same time all year.
 
I hate losing an hour...but I enjoy having an "extra" hour of daylight during the summer time.....
 
When we go forward we lose an hour sleep. I do like that it stays lighter out later. Hubby likes that he can do yard work after working all day. Free's up the weekend to have some fun.
 
I remember in school that canada invented the whole time zone thing
That said
That has nothing to do with this thread but it's food for thought
 
It is a few weeks later if you are in Europe or Asia and Aprilish in most Southern Hemisphere countries that practice it.
Makes for some utterly complicated corporate email announcements.

I prefer when it ends for that one Monday that feels like you get to sleep in.
But the extra sunshine will be nice this time around.

It is meant to conserve energy. Perhaps, in this age of computers, we should re-evaluate it. Still, conserving energy(natural resources) is an admirable goal.

Google is your friend: The History of Daylight Saving Time

Take note of this portion:

The idea of daylight saving time was first conceived by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 during his stay in Paris. He published an essay titled “An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light” that proposed to economize the use of candles by rising earlier to make use of the morning sunlight.

I'd vote to do away with DST. We really dont need it anymore. California did a study saying it doesnt really save energy. I agree since in winter the lights and heat goes on in morning since its darker and when kids come home from sports practice or other after school activities, lights and heat goes on anyways. No point in DST. Our energy grid is resilient now.
