[QUOTE="espringers, post: 314784, member: 816"] without it, the sun wouldn't rise til nearly 9:30 at the latest i think. sure, you would get maybe a half hour of daylight after work... 5:45ish instead of 4:45ish... on the earliest sunset day. but, that isn't much benefit to me since work doesn't end til 5 or 6 anyway like most people. so, i would rather it stay the same instead of sending kids to school in the absolute pitch dark. i realize at 8:00 AM when the sun doesn't rise til 8:30 (if we changed it) its still technically dark. but, at least its not pitch black out. a kid going to school anywhere from 8 to 830 AM when the sun doesn't rise until 9:30 is doing so in the pitch dark. might seem like a miniscule argument to some. but, it is one i've always gone back to. i walked nearly a mile to school 75% of my grade school life and a half a mile in junior high til i got my license. i know its a rarity these days. but, it still happens. i drop my kids off at school every morning and see at least a handful of kids each day walking to school and some appear to be doing so from quite a ways away. and no effing way i want to see the sun up at 4:30 AM in the summer if it stayed like it is now. so, i still support the falling back and springing forward.
