I can't understand why anyone is really opposed to Daylight Savings Time. It takes about one day at either end to adjust. No big deal; it's just more pleasant having sunny evenings in the summer.
Because it's annoying to have to change the clocks, it screws up the toddler's schedule, it makes for a jarring change in the fall when it goes from getting dark at 6pm to the next day getting dark at 5pm, and it could be just as easily accomplished by establishing summer and winter hours at most places of business. Growing up in Indiana, we didn't do daylight savings, and the only thing that was confusing was figuring out what time it was in other states. DST is a relic of the days when there was a rigid work day that kept you locked in a windowless cubicle or factory until you could punch out. These days, it's a solution in search of a problem.
If they want to move to daylight savings time and just leave it there, I'd not object. I don't really care when the sun comes up or goes down, as long as I don't have to go through the rigmarole of resetting the clocks and my circadian rhythms every 6 months.
