There have been a couple of columns in the Boston Globe advocating for New 
England to switch to the Atlantic time zone - meaning, in effect, DST all 
year long.

I wonder how the Europeans can get along on continuous DST
and we can't?

I know the argument about primary and secondary school students
coming to and going from school in the light.

Early on when DST first started during WW-2, the farmers in my
home State of Wisconsin didn't like DST "because the fields were
too wet to work."

On standard time, I used to hate going to work in the dark and
returning in the dark.  At least with DST the evening commute  could
be day-lit.
