I have to rethink my priorities I guess.

Commuting as per se isn't the issue. The issue is that when more of those commutes occur in darkness, more people get killed commuting. They're literally dying so more evenings can start before dark.

    More people are dying from seasonal affective disorder, depression, heart disease, and other conditions associated with the sedentary lifestyle that winter time promotes. A lot more. The lack of evening daylight drives kids indoors, to their couches, TVs, and phones instead of participating in outdoor activities.

    You are killing more kids than I. You are killing a lot more.

    Do you work second or third shift? The only reasons to support early morning sunlight are if you don't work first shift, or you do nothing but loaf around the house after work. Since the alternative is profound laziness, I figure you must work evenings or overnight, right?

    As long as we add an extra hour of evening daylight, how would doing it by adjusting schedules instead of with Daylight Saving Time kill anybody - let alone "a lot more"? Where's your data and/or math on that? As for your inaccurate guesses about my own life... well, LOL.
