Not at all.  I don't think anyone thinks that.  I like DST because it shifts the work day to begin an hour earlier and end and hour earlier than standard time. When it does this it means it might be dark in the morning but it's lighter longer after work.  I prefer to have the lighter time after work days, I would like to shift to DST and just stay there. Plus living on the far west edge of the Eastern Time Zone, this means in DST we stay light until almost 10PM in the middle of summer.  More light after work for mowing, golf, swimming, fishing, pretty much any outdoor recreation.  Yes, the amount of daylight is the same...but when it starts, changes, with DST and the subsequent move back to standard time.

I would like to just pick one and keep it year round. 29 states in the US already do that, Indiana hasn't yet.
