Or keep changing them because people like more light on summer evenings. :-)
[EDIT: And I would be perfectly fine with DST year-round but I understand why people in northern cities have issues with an extra hour of morning darkness for kids going to school and people driving to work.]
We have lights for that, and at the beginning Winter the Sun does not rise till 8am for places like Ann Arbor, Mi. So even with the adjustment for Winter you're still getting "ready" in the dark.
I'd rather have the extra hour in the Summer Time and be able to get a full 18 holes in after work everyday
I think that some people feel that way, but certainly not all, and the arguments against are not compelling enough.
I don't mind losing / gaining an hour of sleep. My sleep patterns have never been very precise, certainly not since having kids. I do like DST. That's just my opinion. I get that some people feel the opposite, no matter what your latitude.
I like that the Earth's axis is inclined and that summer is different to winter.

And because it doesn't affect you it is your reason for imposing it on everyone else? I'm sure a majority of people dislike it. Supposing that everyone else be accustomed to imprecise sleep patterns as you are (which are most likely atypical) is not very fair.
How about we forget the statistics and stop changing our clocks because people don't like losing an hour of sleep and disrupting their sleep schedule?
