Then call it 7:42 AM or whatever damn time you want it to be -- and be done with it. LOL.

I agree. It's easy for Arizonians to do away with DST because they are in a southern latitude where they get bright sun almost all year long. Here in the Northeast, we deal with bone-chilling cold most of the year and so the summer months are precious. Without DST, I'd be coming home in the dark most of the year and would only be catching sunset in the summer months. With DST, I have a full hour or two of daylight when I get home. Like I said in an earlier post, I would rather have DST be two hours (at least for the northern latitudes.)

I just spent a couple of week in South Florida the last two weeks of February during standard time. The sun was still shining bright close to 6PM with temps well in the 70s every day I was there. Back home, it would be pitch dark and cold. So easy for them to give up DST. They already have a paradise virtually year round. I'd rather not have them dictate to us up north.
