In case you didn't know, the clocks recently went forward one hour (if you didn't know this, you are currently late for work, have missed your favorite TV show, and are late for your cat's therapy appointment). But why are we even moving the clocks forward and backward to begin with? It's lame, it's annoying, and it's time Daylight Savings went the way of the Dodo Bird. So join the anti-DST movement, and let's hear why you think DST deserves to go.
The Dark Sucks
The last time I checked, nobody said they liked it when it got dark at approximately 5:02pm.
There Are Better Ways to Save Energy
Some say that DST was created during WWII to help conserve energy (more energy= less Axes of Evil). In today’s day and age flipping the clocks backwards and forwards isn’t going to do all that much to help conserve energy. Outlawing oversize vehicles, banning plastic bags, and harnessing wind and solar and energy, now that might actually do something.
End Day Light Saving Time
There’s some real merit to the ideas on this site… even if they come from someplace a little crazier than I prefer to get my opinions from.

Fun Daylight Saving Time Anecdotes and Facts
“Patrons of bars that stay open past 2:00 a.m. lose one hour of drinking time on the day when Daylight Saving Time springs forward one hour. This has led to annual problems in numerous locations, and sometimes even to riots. For example, at a “time disturbance” in Athens, Ohio, site of Ohio University, over 1,000 students and other late night partiers chanted “Freedom,” as they threw liquor bottles at the police attempting to control the riot."

Leaving Work in the Dark
Is the worst thing ever. BUT I don’t complain in the Spring when it stays light out super late. So maybe just Daylight Saving in the winter could die? Is that possible??

Nobody Wants to Change EVERY SINGLE clock in their house
Why? Because it’s SO annoying.
Not Everyone Does It, So Why Should I?
Yes, Arizona, I’m talking to you.
The Farmers Aren't Fans
Some people say that DST was created to benefit farmers, but it turns out that most farmers don’t even like DST! And everybody knows, nobody likes an angry farmer.
It Makes the World Cry
Seriously, either we all do it at the same time, or we don’t do it, OK? This map makes me angry.

I am OCD about changing the clocks, and don’t like incorrect clocks in general. I guess I’d be down for not having to stay up until 2am just so that all of the clocks have the correct time when I wake up the next day?

Isn’t it awesome when someone adds to your community guide, and it turns out that it’s a duplicate of something you had on there in the first place? Because that’s why I did it; out of awesomeness.
