I like to do a little backyard astronomy.
I LOVE amateur astronomy Mr. Peel and I some times (weather and light pollution permitting) like to gaze out. Sometimes we simply can't. Never occurred to us to complain -- Lobby for an edict that all city lights are out by 8pm.
I'm with you. The utter selfishness of people on this thread who feel that they have a right not to be inconvenienced is pretty scary.

Well, when home EMP devices become available, you won't have to bother to talk to your neighbors and ask them to turn their lights off while you enjoy the astronomical wonders!
