First off, let us quickly dispel any belief that we are actually saving daylight by simply shifting our timepieces forward one hour this coming weekend. It would be nice to have this kind of power, but the truth is we are granted only a finite amount of daylight each day by the Lord Almighty. We can certainly waste daylight, but we cannot save it. It is our responsibility to use it wisely.
I personally favor the time change, as it gives me an extra hour after my workday for outdoor activities. Why not keep it year round? Come December and DST is a distant memory, there are many days when I leave for work in the dark and return to find similar conditions. I would love to have just one hour of evening daylight on those days!
