NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lee martell]

California needs the same thing. It’s pointless resetting the clocks twice a year. The morning light for bus taking school kids is not that much different throughout the year.

[fruser1]

So much for the definition of “noon”.

[imardmd1]

What a stupid idea. The sun will not be held back. The yearly cycle of daylight is not going to change, no matter how many laws against it.

[Michael.SF.]

Lived in California (day light savings time) and the past five in Arizona (no DST).

I vote yes: eliminate DST.

[Sacajaweau]

Why in the world would man mess around with God's clock?

The pretext is the same as global warming.....man can make it better.

We're so vain.

[George from New England]

Or how about the same thing but calling it ...

Whole state on central time zone at standard time. Same thing.

Clowns.

[pgyanke]

[KarlInOhio]

So Florida will be on Central Standard Time, except the the western panhandle which will be on Mountain Standard Time.

[SkyPilot]

Get rid of DST altogether. Time is time. Enough already.

We are not God. Stop trying to be Him.

[Panhandle.deporable]

I live in the Fla panhandle where Alabama is very close by. Lot of talk up here from people who cross the state line on a daily basis of how much confusion this will bring . I like the idea of more daylight though. Hope it passes. Btw already on cst which is often ignored by many i.e. 2000 election fiasco.

[CurlyDave]

The real issue is that the further south one goes, the less variation in length of day from summer to winter.

So, southern states would benefit from permanent DST, northern ones not so much.

House approves push for [year round] daylight-saving time

My car radio already observes this, as the buttons and instructions are too small for me to put on reading glasses while driving to make the adjustment twice a year, especially when I have to go “back” 11 hours in the Fall.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I also want it.

Maine is the Easternmost point in the US, and should be on Atlantic time. Straight North of us is.

I hate moving the clocks back and forth...it’s just plain stupid.

[TBP]

That would essentially put Florida on Atlantic Time, the same as Puerto Rico.

The Marlins and Rays would never play a road game in their time zone.

[ducttape45]

We just need it to be one way or the other, DST or no DST, just no more moving the clocks forward or backwards.

Personally, I don't prefer DST. I say just do away with it, period, end of story, case closed.

[Katya]

there are cancer bands associated with time zones and use of electric light...
