I think DST is a good thing. Why do you hate it? I'd much rather have the light in the evening than the morning. In the winter, we fall back so that it's light when we get up.
I would love to see the entire state in the same time zone. When the clocks in my city change, about half of our workforce live in another time zone, though they only live a few counties away.
I hate it because it is good for nothing. It is forcing the entire state to change their clocks because some people can't just go into work an hour earlier. It is the ultimate bit of stupidity. With or without DST, noon is still noon. Whether we call it 12:00 or 11:00 is irrelevent. You are not gaining anything. Wouldn't it be much easier for the people who want more time in the evening to talk to their employers about coming in early than to force all of the rest of us who don't necessarily want that to have to put up with it forver? It is a statist solution to a problem that isn't even a problem. The remedy is worse than the disease.
