I will agree with you except for one minor difference...leave it at DST. There are far more people that work outside the home during the day than there used to be. The extra hours in the evening are precious.

I have been following this bill in Texas...looks like it is “stuck in committee”.

We will vote in Colorado to stay on dst permanently this November. I hope it passes. My favorite day of the year (excluding holidays) is the first day I walk out of work and it is still light outside. It would be wonderful to have that year round!

Gardening is the #1 hobby in this country. Just try taking that extra hour of daylight after work away from millions of gardeners because you're too lazy to change the few time pieces that aren't programmed to do the changing for you.

To say nothing of the tv schedules whose times are promoted for everyone not just the gripers who apparently think all the other problems in this country have been taken care of.

Like one of the posters said, do you want the sun coming up at 4 a.m. where you live in the summer? The fact that only a few states don't use daylight time should tell us something.

Here in NM, I keep reading how great it would be to have the same time as AZ. Why? Why isn't it great to have the same time as CO or why doesn't AZ join the rest of the MT time zone states?
