I hate daylight savings time

[chrystalline]

Leave the clocks alone!  I could see a potential energy savings if we still worked primarily outdoors during daylight hours, but nowadays, we ignore the sun and schedule our lives around the clock.  Businesses and homes alike use electric lights whether the sun is shining or set.  How does changing the time help anything, except to make people tired while they readjust?

Bah.  I’ve already decided that if I ever have a physical storefront, I’m going to change the hours of operation to negate the stupid clock change, so people don’t have to reset their personal biorhythms just to come to work on time.  If businesses want to change their hours during the summer, that’s their choice (car dealerships do, because that’s their busy season), but the government should get its nose out of our lives.

We were just discussing yesterday that we should start a government recognized religion where our only belief is that we do not observe DST. Then our jobs would be forced to allow us to stay on a single schedule throughout the year. It would somehow have to integrate with any other religion you may be a member of though.
