Skunk, Good Stuff Man,
That is almost as depressing as McDonald's putting on coffee, The liquid in this cup is hot, Wow, Word up. Who would have thunk it?
I want to do a sign that states, What should you do if you A$$ itches? and I do need some "Miss me yet signs"

McDonalds had to put "The liquid in this cup is hot" on coffee cups to protect themselves from future lawsuits. An 81 year old woman was awarded 2.9 million in a lawsuit after she spilled coffee on herself and got burned. Go figure, who would have thought coffee was hot?

Hahahahahahahahaha, uh, yeah, I'd rather have daylight when I'm asleep versus an extra hour to spend with my family. . . or go fishing. . . after work.
Added bonus - morning fishing in the spring/fall is easier b/c I "don't have to get up as early." (Put in quotations b/c the sunrise itself didn't change, the entire society changed to make it seem later.)

Yeah, why is it dumb? The amount of daylight in a day changes by the season, so why not shift our work day to enjoy as much sun as possible?
Maybe if those lazy Indians got up and worked a day in their life, they'd appreciate DST.
Changing the clock interferes with our own internal clock which can cause all kinds of problems with sleep patterns and body rythems. Daylight savings time is an invasion into the private workings of our internal body screwing them up.
There is enough evidence of this by accident statistics, suicide rates and heart attacks.
I happen to like early sunsets for the long evening afterwards and the soothing affect that nighttime provides from the stress of the day.
Daylight savings time is a thief and invasive one at that, by stealing an hour away from the evening and invading the body's delicate internal clock.

I'm a lazy Indian, give me back my damn hour. I need an INFI scalper now cuz I'm countin' coup!
My internal clock is driven by the sun. I would rather forget about time zones and base everything in Hours After Sunrise (HAS)
Just imagine how complicated that would get.
Go back in history and most towns had their own timezone, and it was a challenge for communication and train scheduals. However, it would be a small price to pay to go back to the old ways. Clocks were much more precisely set to sun day cycle. When the clock read noon, the sun would be at it's zenith.
With broad timezones today and adding DST the sun and the clock can be more than two hours out. The community of Thunder Bay is a good example being over two hours out of sync with the sun. I went down to Thunder Bay yesterday to do the fuel and food supply run, it is still dark in the morning after 8:00 AM, and still light after 8pm. I once lived there, but then moved west into the central time zone outside of Thunder bay.
Thunder Bay is a dump when compared to Dryden, Kenora, and Duluth, I can't help but wonder if that town is sleep deprived, business is reluctant to set up there eventhough its a seaport and has a good rail system. I get the feeling that first impressions are powerful. When prospecting business people look out their hotel window and see darkness in the morning when there should be light, it may be enough for them to go elsewhere to set up shop.
