#2I'm torn on this. Yes, having a shift of a full hour in a week is obnoxious. However, the natural sun up and sun down time changes so dramatically in its own, that it is hard to really complain about it. If anything, I could see society moving to a time more based on when the sun comes up. Yes, there are difficulties scheduling something with someone across distance on the earth. But... I don't see a practical solution to that.

Why not just have the hour shift slowly a few seconds per day over the course of the year?

#4I am fully in favor of this. I enjoy having more sunlight after work when I can actually go out and enjoy it.

The dramatic shift is in northern locales but not so much in southern ones

#10Yes! Bravo to Florida.
I don't care what timezone California wants to be in—PST or MST—as long as we stop the nonsense of changing between two timezones every year. This coming Sunday is another DST change, and with it will come countless small nuisances, immeasurable drowsiness and lost productivity, and a non-trivial number of injuries or worse.
Just pick a timezone and stick with it!
