I agree with that mindset too. Just PICK ONE and stick with it. I would really like to see this happen in my lifetime.

I'll get used to either one as long as it's consistent...but I think I agree, Canada needs to go along with this too

Without a doubt daylight savings time. I would be in favor of two extra hours of daylight in the evenings 365 1/4 days per year.

I vote for universal daylight savings time for one simple reason: I don't have to try to figure out how to move the hour one hour forward or backward on my digital watch. LOL

How about becoming one time zone like China? Everywhere in the US would have the same time. And we could pick the Pacific time zone and gain 3 hours!

Let's try it. I got nothing else going on.

Definitely would like it daylight an hour later in the day! I’m more active then and like to walk after dinner. I won’t walk in the dark. I think it seems depressing when it gets dark too early. Love the sun and sun activities.

How about we just stop the world from turning and keep it where it is ALWAYS sunny on this side and leave the other side dark like their mentality? Ouch! Too harsh? After all, we ARE elitists and Deserve our comfort.

Hey, just kidding.
