I like having longer hours of daylight after I get out of work. It seems to add "insult to injury" to set the clocks back November 1, 2009 because it's already getting darker earlier because of the change of season.

Is this still necessary? Has energy usage changed? And if we didn't set the clocks back, how would we ever get back the hour we lost last Spring?

What do you think? Time (pun intended) for a change?

DST Begins 2 a.m. (Second Sunday in March) DST Ends 2 a.m. (First Sunday in November)
