They should get rid of the whole DST thing... actually keep it permanently on DST. I hate when it gets dark so early in the evenings during the winter. In the Northern US it's cold, miserable, and dark by the time you get home from the office. Major contributor to SAD's.
I agree. Permanent DST. Besides, I think people are more active when there's more daylight, so maybe that would save some money in the long run on treatment for heart disease and diabetes.
Did it occur to you that if DST would be permanent in wintwrtimw you would stand up in the middle of the night? Whats the point in saving one hour of energy in the evening if you are going to use one more in the morning ?
i live in the greater toronto area and the whole daylight saving system works perfectly for me for most of the year, the sun rises right when i, and about most of my city, is starting to commute to work. giving the most daylight in the morning, and starting at the right time to have those few minutes in the evening to save energy.
what the hell are you talking about - waking up in the middle of the night? the time only changes by 1 hour
i don't know what you do, maybe you're a farmer or an i-banker, but i get up at 7am year round, and regardless of whether it's daylight saving or standard time, it's light out

Won't be all that "genius" when they get rid of daylight savings time
