For those of us in the United States tomorrow night do remember to set the clock one hour early for the Daylight-saving time.

I'd just as soon set it forward half an hour and then never have to bother with it ever again. (It just seemed like a good idea at the time... -_- )

I think it's a useless practice now that we have *bum bum bum* electricity and lights.

Forward. It's stupid. Might have made sense in Agrarian times when everything was done by the sun, but serves no purpose today.

Not a bad deal. I get 2 gigs as a part of my broadband though, so I don't really need it

We'se up here in the corn fields of Indiana are just too dang backwards to set our clocks back. We have to use sundials and roosters.

Are you in the part that has it or the part that doesn't have it?
If memory serves me right(ACK!Turning into Kaga from The Iron Chef!
)parts of Indiana and I believe the state of Arizona and one or two other States or parts of States don't have Daylight Savings Time.
And any way the only reason why we have it is it was adopted during
WWI as a war measure.
Can we blame this on the Germans still?

We don't have it because like I said it's just too complicated for our ignorant corn shuckin minds.
Daylight savings was put into effect so factories could stay open an extra hour earlier during WW1 conserving electricity and such.

I live in Arizona, we have our OWN timezone. We never change at all, although daylight savings annoys me because it re-arranges the TV schedule and I missed Joel Osteen this morning...so that just sucks

I like DST. I like it when it stays light after 10:00. It's standard time I'm not to fond. I think what most people don't like is changing the time. I know I don't. I drive East to get to work and because of the time change and when I report to work, I have to drive into the sunrise four times a year instead of twice.
DST does save energy. With the sun staying up until later, we use less energy to light our houses in the summer months. Japan is currently looking at passing a law to bring DST there. My point is this: Having DST is basically admitting that all of us are off by one hour. Why not just change the clocks permanently? Change it in every time zone around the world. Then we can have the extra daylight in the summer and not go through the pain of changing time twice a year.
