I'm curious to see what your opinions are.

IMHO, is a pain in the a$$ to adjust all the clocks, watches, clocks on the electronic, clocks in the car, PC (even with auto adjust, it still need you to make sure. ).....

Let's cut the problem in half - just switch once each year

I'm glad time is changed 1hr ahead...Just a extra hr of daylight to ride top down...Plenty of time to wash it after work in daylight......Now that it's almost summer,warmer, to have more daylight is a plus right?......In the winter who cares if it's light out in the evening it's usually to cold to be out anyway right?...

Most of Indiana doesn't switch. But since everyone around us (except arizona I believe) does, it's a royal pain in the rear. All our TV gets tape delayed an hour so it's on "at the same time" (live shows are still aired live). I was on EST yesterday, today I'm on CST.

DST can die a fast painful death as far as I'm concerned.

Saskatchewan (igloo land) does not participate in DST.

Works for me, but buggers me up trying to figure out what time it is in other areas.
