So Owen. You want your school aged grandchildren children standing out by the mail box in the pitch dark of the night (January, 6am, DST) in rush hour traffic?
Why does it not work for you just to get up when you feel like and let us lemmings shift back to standard time when we feel like it?
And why would one petition the white house? As if it’s Obama who changes the clocks? As Pogo famously said, “We have seen the enemy and they is we.”
Sorry to be so cranky. I am feeling very Douggish today. Must be the time change.

But is the time change even needed? What purpose does it really serve? There are lots of stories about it rooted in wartime/economy etc. But these things do not seem to be valid anymore. And are they worth the collective cost?
I have to say I prefer light later in the day though.
Agreed. I do like the petition's approach: simply no time shifting during the year. Whether it stays DST all year long (my preference) or "standard time" is to be decided.
