I am probably part of the minority, but I actually quite like DST: you get to sit outside longer on warm summer nights, and winter days are balanced too. Since that is about the only thing where I feel that DST effects me, I'm really ok with it.
One solution could be to standardize in the other direction: instead of abolishing DST, go to year-round DST, i.e. year-round offset of ~1hr between solar time and clock time.
Come on up here to the Yukon if you want to see what it's all about.
Well, here comes 4 months of living in the dark. How depressing.
