If there were ever a topic that screams backwoods, country bumpkin Hoosiers, it is DST. The benefits of said topic are obvious to all but those who are too damn stupid to comprehend. Sadly, amongst we Hoosiers, that's a significant percentage of the herd.....
A lot of people have jobs where they have to be at work early, and therefore must get the kids up early. My nephews are up before 5 am every day... Because their mom has to be at the hospital for work by 6:00.Then tell them to go to bed.
If they only sleep 8 hours they would be up at 4am. If they sleep 10 it would be 6am. See what I am getting at.
I haven't had a 4 year old in years. I have no clue when bed time should be.
And the disadvantages are obvious to all but those snooty, arrogant ***holes in the cities that think they know what is best for us.If there were ever a topic that screams backwoods, country bumpkin Hoosiers, it is DST.

Need another petition to move Indiana from Eastern to Central time zone.

Some of us have stayed on Central TimeThat's the petition I'd sign. We used to be in the Central Time Zone years ago (before we went on "frozen" time) and I don't think that our position on the globe has shifted since then.

I don't see the big deal about moving the clocks twice a year. But I'd rather be on slow time than fast time.
I grew up with DST so it doesn't really make any difference to me. I'd just as soon not have to deal with changing the clocks twice a year, though. That said, it was even more of a pain trying to do business with states that do have DST. If we're going to have it, everyone should use it. "Indiana time" causes WAY too many problems. I'd happily vote to get rid of DST, but only if it's nationwide.

Actually time is not constant. It's relative.
Prior to changing to DST, Indiana businesses have lost an incalculable number of hours of productive time and revenue with out-of-state businesses, simply because the time quirks are just too confusing to keep track.There are obvious benefits?
Do tell... this should be fun.
I love DST. If you lived on the equator where you get 12 hours of daylight year round, it wouldn't make sense. But for crying out loud, what is more natural than varying our schedule to match the sun? If we as a society plan our lives by the clock, then lets coordinate our clocks to the changing seasons. It's mind boggling that some people get upset about this.
Given the positive effect it has upon commerce in Indiana, the crybaby factor of having to change one's clocks a couple times a year really isn't of consequence.

Nope, you've got it completely backwards. When the sun comes up at 6am in December and in June, there is no reason to adjust your clock, other than the fact that its handy to be on the same schedule as the rest of the world.Actually, the contrary is true. The closer you are to the equator, the more value DST has. This is because there's less daylight hours to work with in the summer on the equator than locations farther away.
