I can see why you feel that way living in the US, but most of the people in the world live in another country than you. Here in Norway I see a huge benefit of DST. When I get up at 7 in the morning it's completely dark outside, and when I leave from work it's on it's way to become dark again. We are changing the clock again this weekend (one week(?) before you in the US) and it's going to help a lot in the mornings. Evenings will get even darker, but the hardest parts is always to wake up during the dark times. It's still going to be worse the next months (the days are getting 6 minutes shorter every day now), but DTS helps a bit.
DST does definitely have it's place, but maybe not in every country of the world.
