1. getting an hour back is better than giving one up. that's just simple logic. wouldn't we all rather get time back? it just feels better.
2. autumn is innately better than spring.
3. springing forward is depressing because when you spring forward, it's constantly later than you are used to. when you fall back, you sort of feel like it's 9am, and it's 8am. bonus! in the spring, you're kind of feeling like it's 9am, but it's 10am. awwww.
4. related to #3 - springing forward makes it more difficult to get my mental bearings. not only am i wrong about what time it is in sort of smallish ways like in #3, i have a greater tendency to completely lose track of time altogether.
5. morning light makes it easier to get up and get going. springing back happens just when the mornings are starting to really get light. yes, they eventually get light again, but i don't like my morning light stolen and tacked on at the end of the day. in the fall, the mornings are brightened with the time change.
6. evening light makes supper later and makes you have to work in the yard after work.
7. falling back doesn't take energy. you just fall... back... and land in a soft bed of feather pillows. springing forward is tiring.
8. so many people like spring and springing forward that it's just trite and boring.
9. more a commentary on the whole time changing thing that spring in particular... the sun is blinding when it is at a certain angle during my commute. this only happens four times per year... before & after springing forward, and before & after falling back. if the time wasn't changed, this whole sun-angle thing would only happen twice.
10. seriously. who wants to lose a whole hour??
