If people want to arrive at work at 8 AM, they will do so. If they want to knock off at 4 PM, they will do so. If they want to eat lunch at 11 AM, they will do so. Trick them into doing it by making DST year-round? The disadvantages of leaving the house before dawn will cause people to alter their schedules.

Besides: So-called DST means children and others are out on the streets in the dark in the morning. When Nixon increased the portion of the year for DST, there were more kids killed by cars in the mornings.

If you are worried about children in the morning then leave standard time all year long. How about that?

Why not have the kids start school later?

I love Fall... I think it’s because return to standard time fits my internal clock better than DST. My family are early birds....
