Flip-flopping back and forth with the time twice a year doesn't make any 
sense.  Some think the idea dates back to Benjamin Franklin having to do 
with the conservation of the use of candles.  Others seem to think it 
had to do with farmers.  Or conservation of energy during WWI.  It 
didn't become a Federal law in the U.S. until 1966.  (A few States and 
U.S. territories are excepted.)  What's the point?  Pick a time and 
stick with it!
