Poll: Should Daylight Saving Be Scrapped?

Voices are heard every six months calling for abolition of "spring forward, fall back" chore.

The twice-a-year chore known as “spring forward, fall back” returns at Saturday night, when Californians set their clocks ahead for the sake of Daylight Saving Time. It takes effect at 2 a.m. Sunday—amid grumbling and calls for abolition.

For folks crossing the border, it’s a resumption of a twice-a-year headache. Mexico doesn’t switch to DST until the first Sunday in April, which means a one-hour time difference for binational folks.

Most of Arizona, meanwhile, ignores Daylight Saving Time, further confusing travelers without automatic time-resetting devices.

Is it time to abolish the twice-a-year drill?

I hit enter in the comment and it posted - I wasn't done! Why would it post if you don't clickRead More "post comment"?! I read one story and the scrunched up left placement gave me a headache. The ad column on the right is way too big - too wide. If they made that smaller, swapped the "board" column and the news (so the news was in the middle), I think it would be easier to read.

With the ad block on the right and the boards info in the middle, it feels like the news part isRead More scrunched too far to the left.
