Years ago I moved out into the boonies. I was awe struck with the night sky. Yet even more, that when people move to the contry to "get away from it all" the first thing they do is install their own personal 1KW street light and ruin the night sky.

I am all in favor of dark skies, but it aint gonna happen in my life time and I would hate to see it imposed us.

Oh, sure it can! Do you have access to a high-quality pellet gun?

That, and some rube will buy 20 acres or so then proceed to give away 19 one acre plots to all his friends and relatives. And every one of them will need their very own street light. What's the point? Why not just stay in the city?

Or for whatever reason, they feel the need to leave their garage lights on. Yea, it's a pet peeve of mine.
