though i hate daylight savings time with a passion, i also hate all the commuters that get on the freeway only after the sun comes up. 6:30 with the sun up has way more cars on the road than 6:30 with sunrise 30 minutes away. for the life of me i can't figure out why that is.

Wouldn't that mean you LIKE daylight savings time? There will be fewer cars on the road at 6:30.

Enh, I'm looking forward to the extra hour of daylight in the evening. Though I totally forgot about it until I got an e-mail from work reminding us.

that's the only thing i like about it, and that isn't necessarily dst's fault.

The President, or federal government for that matter, has no say in daylight saving time. It's a state issue.

And from what I recall, this whole DST was started by farmers who needed the extra light for their crops. Now that we have better crop technology, is DST even needed any longer?

WTF are you people bitching about? Seriously? DST gives us extra daylight during non-work hours (for most); what exactly is bad about that?
