My feeling is that most Americans don't really care, period. If a reasonable plan was put in place and stuck to, people would gripe for the first week or so after each changeover then pretty much realize the world didn't end and life goes on. After some time, they may even wonder why it wasn't done earlier. It is the vocal minority that is the problem.
