I'd rather keep DST all year round.
Living in Canada, i appreciate the extra daylight in the summer evenings when I can make use of it.  In the winter it's only light when I'm at work, and too cold to enjoy anything outside anyway.

How about a pick-up game of hockey ?

If he was one of those "sensitive coffee house guitarists," it would probably be curling Bert. 

Ha!
You're both wrong.  My winter sport is whining like a baby.  WHEN'S IT GOING TO GET WAAAAAARRRRRMMMMMER????? Eh?
I'd make that into a coffee-house folk song, but I'd clear the place out.

It does indeed work well for those closer to the poles. It was of course, as mentioned, mostly for agricultural purposes but these days it serves an actually pretty good unintended purposes. Less car accidents due to higher visibility during after work traffic. I read somewhere that if it was removed the estimated extra motor vehicle accidents would rise not unsignificantly.
 
Extra time for kids (and adults) to get some extra vitamin D is likely a pretty good side benefit as well.
 
On a related topic... I was wondering why I felt so exhausted today seeing as how I got up at my usual "sleep in" hour (which is 9am and has infuriatingly been occurring more often than I like these days). Totes forgot about the time change. Is good though because hopefully I'll be tired enough to actually pass out at my desired "old lady" bedtime.

I'm a little concerned that I'm somehow expected to play a role in saving daylight. I don't recall signing up for that. I'm reasonably certain that I have no such qualifications. I mean, for years I've been trying (and failing) to convince people that there's a giant ball of fire in the sky. No, really, there is. It's out there almost every day. Everybody just ignores it and pretends that it's "Normal" or something. It's just not natural.
 
Now, I'm expected to help save daylight? Unless the whole idea is to fail miserably and have a convenient scapegoat to blame for the entire mess, I can't th...
 
Oh. Now it makes sense.

It's a Socialist thing.  SUNLIGHT FOR ALL!  EQUALLY.  Whether you've earned it or not.

The guys in the UK and some of out here in the Pacific Northwest lately might think that giant ball of fire is a myth since we don't see it.

the  ideas of *earnings* and *invention*  are both systemic whereas we creative types like to think of those concepts as  structures (like *freedom* and spirit*).  That's the real divide of our world:  system and structure.  I wont say one is better than the other, but egalitarianism is more a structure than a system.  *social justice* is a structure, not a system.  The architect designs the building (structure), the construction workers actually build it (system). The architect earned his fee, but it's not really *earnings*, whereas the meaning of the labor of turning the piece of wood into an axe is (qua Adam Smith) Labor is systemic whilst structuralists barter for the meals.  Is that food for thought?

I must be one of those rare people who has absolutely zero opinion on the pros and cons of daylight saving. I invariably hear about it the night when you're supposed to adjust your clocks, or sometimes the news completely bypasses me and since my phone updates its time automatically, and I use my phone to wake me up, I don't even have to know about it. I may feel a little more tired than usual for the first half hour of the morning, but the feeling passes and then daylight saving is my new reality and I just work with it.
