2nd post on this subject, a little more detailed...

Most of the complainers have no problem with traveling to a destination in a different time zone for a vacation, business or family. Most of the complainers have no problem with staying up an extra hour to watch a movie/sporting event or some other performance. Most of the complainers have no problem getting up extra early if they have something they want to do that necessitates it (going fishing, hunting or whatever). They do like having 2 extra times a year to complain about something.

I will note that there had been promises made about changing this, but I guess that didn't happen. Let our bodies adjust naturally to the changing light. Linear time is a human construct, anyway. ;)

Exactly! How many people do you hear saying, "No, I do not travel outside my time zone because [insert here all the different complaints they have about DST]."?

I can choose to travel to a different time zone (and do regularly). I have NO choice about DST and see no use in changing time twice a year. Pick one and be done with this nonsense.

I just see no point in the time change.

Yep. And yet the complaining goes on, and on, and on...
