As a kid I grew up near the western edge of the eastern time zone, about as far west as St. Louis, MO, with Lake Superior to the west.  It was daylight until 10:30 pm.  Even at the east end of Lake Superior it is daylight until 10:00 pm.
I'm entitled (to be cranky).

I would like that.  I hate it when it gets dark early.  At 8 pm it seems like it should be 10 pm it's been dark so long.

I don't mind.   It's setup now so it clicks off right as sunrise approaches 8:00, and flips back on when the "new" sunrise is before 8:00

I remember the early 70's when they let DST go the full year.  Sunrise was 8:30 in Iowa, so 9:00 in Minnesota.  Sending kids to school in pitch dark wasn't very smart.  Even a Poli Sci retard could figure that one out, after only a year.

Changing back and forth between times can screw up your biological clock, too.

Will Rogers never met Barack Obama. He would not like Obama.

I hate liberals. Liberalism is a disease that causes severe brain damage after it tries to suck knowledge and history out of yours.

When my kids were little I learned not to do anything the Monday after in the spring because losing that one hour really messed them up. Fortunately, homeschooling allowed me that luxury of not having to get them out the door.

I hate this crap too. It's another progressive thing from Prussia. I say use the same time year round. If people don't like the timing of sunrise and sunset, move to the tropics. It's called seasons.
