aren't the current dates programmed into every VCR and computers that self adjust the time?

[hispanarepublicana]

a two-month extension could adversely affect livestock,

reminds me of that line from O Brother Where Art Thou: "Oh, George, not the livestock!"

Morons ...

For my money, here in Missouri we would welcome extra daylight in the evening year round.

[sinanju]

An earlier report mentioned something that had not ocurred to me before. That the real complication with changing daylight savings is co-ordinating it with Canada.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Everyday I thank God that I live in a state that doesn't fool with this moronic idea. Yeah, the Navajos observe daylight savings time but they only do it to antagonize the white man.

Here's an idea: ABOLISH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Useless in today's world.

Winter - Ahead, Fall - Back, just doesn't cut it.

[Pappy Smear]

I like it for the spring. It is tough getting our Little League practices in, after I get home from work, and before it gets dark, here on the 43rd parallel. Not a problem after the time switches tho.

[ElkGroveDan]

We should move daylight savings ahead by 12 hours. That would REALLY save a lot of energy.

[Nowhere Man]

Yippie, it's 1973 again, where did I put that DeFranco Family record? B-) I remember then Congress did the same thing and a lot of parents complained about sending the kids to school in the dark. I was in 1st grade then and we had to use flashlights to go to the bus stop. It was fun playing "German Spotlight" and "Star Trek phaser" though. B-)

[WOSG]

Idiots.

It won't save energy, any more than you can cool your kitchen by leaving the fridge door open (think about it).

When DST's beginning was moved from the last Sunday in April to the First Sunday churches took the biggest hit, since that Sunday often coincides with Palm Sunday or Easter. Folks who forget to "spring forward" are an hour late to services.

The earliest that western Easter can ever fall is March 22; thus the earliest that western Palm Sunday can ever fall is March 15, which would be the third Sunday of March. Having DST begin on the second Sunday of March would end the Palm Sunday/Easter Sunday time change conflict.

I'm not as impressed with keeping it through the first Sunday in November.

[sonofatpatcher2]

They keep this up and we'll have 35 hour days and no nights!

[Mr Cobol]

Don't these people believe in glodal warming? The more sun they give us the hotter it gets. In that line of thinking if they reversed DST it would reduce global warming.

I guess they can't see that. These people are sooo stupid.

[Mr Rogers]

If Daylight Saving Time lasts for 7 1/2 months, and normal time lasts 4 1/2 months, then shouldn't we change normal time to DST? Then we could have 4 1/2 months of Daylight Wasting Time...

Or, in Arizona, live like the Lord intended year round.

"The beauty of daylight-saving time is that it just makes everyone feel sunnier," said Markey.

Dear senator Edward Markey (du-mASS): f_ck you.
</sunniness>

[Trteamer]

Some of you might remember that back in the early 70's we went year round daylight savings time.

I loved it! During the January goose season, I didn't have to be on the river hunting until 8:00 a.m. and there was still enough daylight after school to go for an evening hunt. Needless to say, the freezer was full.

I miss those days.

[taxesareforever]

I thought there was a war on terror going on. Sometimes I wonder how they can think when they are sitting down. Maybe this is the type of drivel that oozes up as they sit.

[Torie]

How could it adversely affect livestock? This city boy doesn't get it.
