This is one of the very few things my husband and I ever really argue about. I like the changing of the clocks twice a year. He wants it gone.

I want it not just gone, but dead, and buried with a stake through its heart forever and ever!

I vote for gone! Enough of this seesaw back-and-forth crapola…keep it as is.

I say split the difference. Permanently offset the clock by 1/2 hour.

Personally, making daylight savings permanent discriminates against early risers. And school children will be going to school in the dark. Split the difference, or stay on standard time.

It's worth the minor inconvenience because we'll get more sun during your day.

Do nothing, we'll work longer in the dark.

WHY do you support the huge disruption of our internal clock? You are aware that there is a HUGE spike in Motor vehicle incidents, personal injuries and unexpected injurious personal events directly attributed to the “time change”, right?

What purpose does the time change serve? It was originally posited as a JOKE by Benjamin Franklin, yet somehow, we are literally LIVING this parody.

Get over yourself about the imaginary “darkness for the kiddies going to school” LIE

What possible sense does it make in your world?
