IMHO, we should pick a time and stick with it all year. If they extend it by two months, it will become an 8/4 split...by then they may as well just stick with DST all year long if it really has benefits in energy cost savings. All of this time changing really messes up a lot of people's biological clocks, and making the "standard time" stint even shorter would probably just make that worse. Sticking with DST year-round would basically just be a "time zone shift" in the end. Their argument makes sense, but I don't think an extension is the solution; a replacement would be better. Much easier on the body.

I loved it when President Nixon had daylight savings time year round in 1974 because of the energy crisis. Although I had to walk to school in the dark, at least when I got out in the afternoon, I had a few hours of daylight to play!
