The Southeast Missourian asked, "Do you think Daylight-Saving Time is a good idea?"
Julie Menz, Gordonville
"I think the fall one is good because we gain an hour. The only thing that's good about spring is we gain more daytime."
Tara Freeman, Jackson
"I don't know, it's kind of both. I like to have my extra hour of sleep, but I also like having an extra hour of daylight when it's pretty outside and you can hang out outside."
Libby Oliver, East Prairie
"Yes, because in the summertime, when you want more time to be outside, you have more time, because it saves light longer."
Mackenzie Price, Cape Girardeau
"Yes, because you can stay outside and play sports or whatever longer. You have more daylight, so you can put off your homework longer."
Brad Dillon, Anna, Ill.
"Yeah I guess it works out. You lose an hour, but then again you gain an hour when it changes. It never has bothered me."
