Get rid of it! One reason they said we needed it here in Indiana was because so the farmers could be in the fields longer.All the farmers that I know have always just reached over and pulled the light switch on their tractor or combine and kept running as far into the night as needed to get job done.They dont worry whether its light out or not.

 

Go ahead and cast your vote in the poll. I see you didn't.

 

I voted to end it. I could be okay with EITHER standard time or daylight but changing the clocks twice a year is just stupid. I continue to prefer real time, not the artificial time.

 

Stay the same all year . Mike

 

I have long since forgotten the source and date, but it went something like this:

"Only the white man can cut off one end of a blanket and sew it to the other end and think the blanket is longer."

It was credited to an American Indian chief. Cannot confirm. :flag6: :flag6:

 

Am not a morning person. Would love DST all year. Lloyd :bowtier:

 

Just to clarify what I was looking for, I'd count this for a vote of Get Rid of it.
I don't see that it matters what the permanent setting would be. Daylight time, Standard time or half way between. As long as we don't change. It's the changing that doesn't make sense to me.
If the time stays the same, the terms Daylight Saving Time and Standard Time become meaningless.

 

doesn't both me either way. in one of those moods today. :damnmate:

 

Sorry Roger,Thought that I had clicked vote now button when I posted ,must not have. I voted Get rid of it.

 

pick your battles

I could care less one way or the other. its not a big thing to me. It don't take any nickles out of my pocket and don't add any nickles either. It,s not importiant to me.

 

I like it when its still light out at 9 o'clock at night during the summer.:tu:tu

 

It no longer serves any useful purpose. Dump it.

 

Really I am retired so it is no big deal. Mike

 

I would prefer to stay on the Daylight savings time all year. Changing the clocks twice a year needs to stop IMO.

 

Yup, it was once useful, but I think that time has to end it.
I like summer time...we should keep that year round, and stop changing it.

 

If we keep it; do we leave the clocks ahead like now?
If we get rid of it; do we set the clocks back like in the Fall?
I'm confused... Is DST forward or back? (Which one is normal?)

I like the light in the evening but I am not sure how to vote.

If you are for picking either one and not changing the clocks ever, than vote Get Rid of it.

 

I voted to keep it, as the best thing I like about it is the summer months and it staying light longer. Up here in the north it is already short enough.

 

I like it!!:tu:tu

 

Oops voted wrong, meant get rid of time change, keep the longer daylight .

 

get rid of it, well keep it at the summer hours. Right now it is a tie, 22 to 22. If allowing for wrong votes due to confusion voting rules I think the get rid of it would be further ahead.

 

Get rid of it........

 

Keep the clocks ahead an hour? Keep the clocks set back an hour? Some want it one way and some the other. How about splitting the difference and setting them back a half hour (now) and keeping that time? That should make everyone happy.

 

I like that idea.

 

Get rid of it. It just seems silly to change to clocks twice a year. Leave it one way or the other.

 

Git it gone, :bowtier:

 

I say keep it. So in the winter time the children who have to ride the bus to school don't have to stand out in the dark in the morning.

 

This is where the split the difference option that DavidY proposed might help and make both sides happy.

 

I would like to stay on DST all year so I voted to to rid of it, I think I got the vote right? :dontknow:

 

Yes you did.

 

I would like to see the study where DST saves electricity. I don't get how that works. In my house, we use more artificial light in the AM. when the days start getting longer, we use the natural morning light until DST kicks in and we are back in the dark using artificial light. I'll take AZ time thank you.
