Can't believe this thread is already 3 pages long, and no one has come up this one yet:
There was a story, probably apocryphal, that when someone explained the concept of daylight saving time to a Native American chief, they responded by saying, "only the white man would think he could cut a foot off the bottom of a blanket and sew it to the top, and end up with a longer blanket."
They don't call it "Standard Time" for nothing. Leave the clocks set at standard. Your position on the planet will determine your amount of "daylight" - day or night....
We here in North Carolina sit right about the 33/34 yard line latitudinal-ly speaking (Same as Morocco - look it up) And we're fortunate to have a fairly even distribution of sunlight throughout the day (based on standard time) and a nice distribution of the 4 seasons throughout the year. I've lived in 5 different States and also 7 years in Western Europe and I can speak from experience - we got it good in NC.
If you don't like the amount of daylight you get according to the clock - then move.
