I want it to end forever.

if DST increases heart attack incidence, increases car accidents, and costs us more in energy consumed, why do we do it?

@MiracleMileV8: try living up north AND on the western edge of a time zone....with DST, from may-july, the sun doesn't SET until after 9:30pm and it's still dusk until after 10pm ..it's unnatural and depressing for the sun to set after 8pm during late winter(march), when there's still snow on the ground...they need to abolish daylight savings time so people from michigan and northwest ontario aren't set to the standard time of bermuda and nova scotia for 9 months a year....

@1L6E6VHF Dude,the sunrise and sunset is 1 hour later then usually during daylight savings time!

DUDE DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME IS RETARDED!

THEY DON'T EXTEND 3 HOURS ON EVERY CLOCK IN THE NATION SO J124LIFE CAN GET 3 EXTENDED HOURS OF SLEEP SO WHY EXTEND 1 HOURS SO FARMERS GETS MORE SUN TANS?!

IF I WANT 3 MORE HOURS OF SLEEP I SLEEP 3 HOURS EARLIER, IF FARMERS WANTS 1 EXTRA HOURS OF SUN WAKE THE FUCK UP EARLIER! DON'T CHANGE THE ENTIRE NATION'S TIME SO SOME REDNECK CAN GROW EXTRA CORN IN HIS BACKYARD!!!

@MiracleMileV8: In the USA, since 2007, DST begins in the Winter. Specifically, on the second Sunday in March - never later than March 14. The Vernal Equinox is usually on March 20 and never earlier than March 18.

In parts of Canada and Alaska, daylight does not end on a daily basis at all in late Spring and early Summer.

[MiracleMileV8]

@1L6E6VHF: Actually, the only years that DST has actually begun in winter would be '74 and '75; and that was during the Energy Crisis. I should also mention that daylight, at the height of the solar summer, wouldn't end until 9 pm in many of the northernmost parts of the country, and in virtually all of Canada{or around 8 pm without DST}.

[MiracleMileV8]

@josephdupont: I don't think the latter 2 are quite accurate, and frankly the former is quite ridiculous. But then again, I wouldn't miss DST too much.

@josephdupont Why do we do a lot of things that are stupid and bad for us?

[SSduckclub]

I agree 100% leave the damn time the same all year long. Daylight savings is such bullshit ! Changing the clock does not give you more or less hours the sun will be up.
