In before the I-want-DST-year-round comments. I like year-round standard time just fine here in Arizona.

As a sports fan I do like when the rest of the world shifts. Pacific Time is the best sports schedule, games over by 9.

They tried that during the "energy crisis" in 1973 when Jimmy Crapper was president. Many people hated it and it was abandoned in 1974. One of the big gripes was that kids had to go to skool when it was still dark.

It depends where you are in the country or your position east or west within your timezone.

For example, I am in NH. I do not care if it is light at 5:30 AM. I would rather have it light later into the evening. Which is why I prefer DST. People in down east Maine probably agree with me even more.

However, in MI it does not get light until 8am. It stays light until after 10pm in the summer. They MAY want it to be more light in the morning.

I have been in Boise in early July when I had to close the curtains because it was light until 10:30 pm.

SO, MY solution is to SPLIT the difference 1/2 hour and stay on that all year long for the entire country.
