Not with this president. Besides if we were to succeed they would only change their name like al-Qaeda. 4951

I would like to end wiinter time (regular time) and keep DST all year, personally.I don't care about it being dark when I get up, but I sure like the extra light at the end of the day. 4951

I remember a number of years (a big number) that Illinois eliminated daylight saving time for a year or so.  I was going to school in the dark and coming home in the dark.   Didn't last long and it was soon changed back.  I lived in the portion of Indiana that does not change.  I like it to be light for awhile in the evenings. 4951

I'm all for ending it.  It served a purpose way back in the day when it was originally created, but now, it's just a pain to remember to set the clocks, then, after the change, for many, it disrupts their internal clocks.  4951

@FoFa:
 
Eastern time is at the Alabama Georgia line runs south through the Florida pan handle. If you go north splits Tennessee Kentucky and runs the western edge of Indiana and Michigan.
 
You know Indiana does not observe DST. It was always a joke how can it be central time in Indiana and eastern time in Michigan. Indiana does not change time. 4951

@Ebola: It did in the Gary area (to match Illinois) and along the southern border with Kentucky.
I was in both places in the summer, so at that time it did.Not sure about today, that was in the 70's and early 80's. 4951
