The system is perfect the way it is. Nothing needs to be fixed. Post if you agree. ---

Ahhhh. I ran “Hink” through urban dictionary, assuming it was something I’d missed. As for DST, I just do not care for switching clocks around. ---

I have no problem with Daylight Savings Time–I enjoy the extra daylight after work in the “summer”… If I had a collection of cuckoo clocks, I’d worry about resetting them. Most of my clocks reset themselves nowadays. ---

I have to reset three clocks. In the spring I don’t mind at all. In the fall it’s a bit more of a pain, but I have an extra hour to do it. ---

Honk Sunrise and sunset times in Ottawa with DST. > [@](#): > > Jun 21, 2013 5:14 AM 8:55 PM I really can’t imagine the sky starting to brighten at 4:00 A.M. I’d poison the MF crows and blue jays. ---

I like Daylight Saving Time but I don’t like Standard Time. I wish we were on DST all year long so we can have at least some light at the end of the day. Do I still get to honk? ---

I don’t “like” DST, but I can’t think of a better way to shuffle the daylight around. Changing your sleep is a PITA, but without it we’d either have sunrise at 4:30 in the summer or at 8:30 in the winter, neither of which is good. ---

Meep meep. I wake up most easily shortly after sunrise. DST helps me stay synchronized to Normal Human Working Hours. I suppose I could get used to waking up hours before work in the summer, but then I’d have a ridiculously early bedtime. ---

Yup, I like it as well. I’m one of about three people in Indiana who does. ---

I’d also prefer year-long DST. I don’t have a problem with kids going to school in the dark because I had to go to school in the dark as a kid and it didn’t hurt me none. ---

Honk! Though, I do find the Anti-DST arguments sort of tiresome, and they wouldn’t exist if we didn’t have DST. ---

HINK! I, too, live in Indiana where we didn’t have DST for 20 years without issue. Changing my old-fashioned clocks 2x a year is a royal PITA but I like the extended daylight hours. So its a “hink” for me. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/honk-if-you-like-daylight-saving-time-and-dont-consider-the-system-broken/652206.md?page=2)
