| Daylight saving has begun in Europe. Why can't those who want to get up one hour earlier for half of the year just do that and not trouble the rest of us? Now I have to get up 5am every day until October.

I agree, it's a system that should be done away with. Having it 8+ months out of the year as we do in the USA is absurd; why not just have it year round and move one time zone to the east? Changing clocks back and forth is just a silly thing to do.

Actually I would argue that Christianity is terrible, though I wouldn't cite the Westboro Baptist Church as my reasoning.
I don't like Christianity either!  But you understood the point of the example.

I think there are, at least in the US, but they never seem to get enough support.

Thanks to lobbyists and olde timers I suspect.

It's last Sunday in March and October here, which is especially absurd in Norway. For some people the polar night has already started and they're still having "summer time".

| Nice, two thirds of the way there! I hope it makes it, even if only to see what the formal response is.

Actually it's only one third of the way there, and there are only 4 days left

Really dislike Daylight Saving Time too. Having a 23 hour day is not fun (though the 25 hour day in October is pretty cool: "Hmm, it's nearing 3 o'clock, maybe I should be going to bed... Never mind, it's 2 o'clock again, it's still early!") and having the Sun reach its highest point so late (13:40 here, because we're using the +1 timezone when GMT is closer to solar time) is also pretty annoying.
I occasionally stream at http://www.twitch.tv/magistermystax. Sometimes SE, sometimes other games.

And repeat?
I think Windows did that at some version.

I find it stunningly appropriate that an official website of the US government requires you to look multiple times to be sure of what the information is.

Couldn't agree more  Also, I feel like those White House petition things exist mostly to give people the illusion that they have a say in what happens. And sometimes maybe the petitions do accomplish something, but most of the time that won't be the case no matter how good of an idea they are. That's just my impression.
