I need to find that post by Reagen from 2 or 3 yrs ago that perfectly encapsulated the issue in 2 or 3 sentences.

I love it. more sun in the summer evenings; darker at night in the cold cold winter -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 06:57 22
- Go away -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 06:57 21
  - so you don't like warm summer evenings? -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 06:58 20
    - Keep the later sunset. Keep it year round. k, thanks. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 06:59 18
      - This. I hate this switch so much. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 07:00 17
        
        so, you know it would dark in the morning all winter till after 8am? I don't get why people get all freaked out by an hour change. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:02 16
        
        I think when people complain about this whole thing, they're complaining about three things: the changing itself, the latitude of their home, and the -- (edited) - mara Nov 4, 07:12 3
        
        The abruptness of it throws everything off too. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:20 2
        
        you deal with time zone changes, like, weekly. i can't believe you even notice! -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:23 1
        
        haha :) -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:27
        
        *shrug* I want more sun when I'm not at work in the evenings. I also don't like the change as it's dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. - Krusty Nov 4, 07:04
        
        Mornings are the worst, that's fine. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:02 10
        
        being dark for hours after you get up won't make them *better*. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:03 9
        
        Nothing will make them better so might as well have the light in a non-awful time of day -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:17 3
        
        You might not like it as much as you think. When we tried it in 1973, polls showed just 19 percent of people said it had been a good idea. -- nm - mara Nov 4, 07:19 2
        
        Yeah but those people voted for Nixon -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:20 1
        
        Ha! :-) -- nm - mara Nov 4, 07:21
        
        I prefer it being dark in the morning as the sun won't wake me up early. I root for rainy mornings for this reason. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 07:04 4
        
        see here it allows sun to warm up vehicles and clear off windows an extra hour. reducing scrapping -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 07:18 1
        
        g-a-r-a-g-e -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:24
        
        if it's dark in the mornign, no way I'm waking up. I'd get fired. No alarm would work. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 07:13 1
        
        You don't have to get up until after sunrise in January? -- nm - mara Nov 4, 07:14
    - on a train bound for nowhere? -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 06:58
Every year there's more of a push to get rid of it and we have places where it doesn't exist. I think it's jut a matter of time before we do rid - Krusty Nov 4, 06:56 1
