The times - they are a-changin’.
I survived the Y2K end-of-the-world disaster, heheh.
2008 = Y2K on steroids.
2009 = slow motion train wreck
2010 = re-birthing pains
2011 = light at the end of the tunnel
2012 = dawning of a bright, new day

Agreed, winter is just dark in most places...morning or evening. I have gone for weeks without seeing my house in the sunlight.
DST just seems to make more sense to put it there and leave it alone.
Another folly of the Government, who needs it?
