Arguments against DST:
Arguments for DST:
- More natural light
- Energy usage reduced (theoretically, I'm not sure how this holds up in practice)
- Fewer car accidents on poorly lit roads (again, in theory)
- Better times for football games (seriously...)
- People who play golf get more time in the day to do that
Arguments against DST:
- Disrupts sleep patterns (allegedly)
- Changing all the clocks is a goddamn hassle every year
- Potentially makes you late on the Sunday of the change, if you forgot about it
- Causes health problems (according to several studies)
- Cows hate it
