Re: “ ‘Ditch the switch’ measure gets final state approval”: As someone who leaves my house at 6:20 a.m. for school and returns home at 5:30 p.m., I’d much rather have more light in the morning than evening. I assume most school kids would agree with me as well, as no one enjoys standing out […]

Re: “Humans altering the planet at an ‘unprecedented’ pace” [May 7, A1]: Curling up into a fetal position is one tempting response.
