"I don't think children should be goimg to school in the dark."
Do you live in North Korea, where there are no lights?
It seems like this emotional argument about children being in the dark before school gets repeated mindlessly like any other "think of the children!" admonishment without any critical thought.
Without DST, it can get dark as early 3:30pm in some places when it's cloudy. Why isn't there just much concern about children coming home from school in the dark?
If there really are any legitimate concerns about children going to school in the dark, a more sensible solution would be to have the schools start an hour later during those times, rather than making everyone lose an hour of daylight in the evening when most people have their "free" time.
I would vote yes for making DST permanent.
As long as they keep blaming the country for not voting for them based on their ------, no. Get the frak over it. Of course there will be female U.S. President one day, but it will have to be someone who doesn't fall into the entitlement trap nor has "making history" one of the top reasons to vote for them.
