I agree.

Light pollution is an annoyance to those who like to see the night sky, but not much else.

Living in the city, I haven't had the privilege of seeing the night sky in all its glory in quite some time. It is a pain, but I sure don't want anyone passing light ordinances over it.

Indeed. I'm dismayed to see our nation turn into a bunch of priviledged whiners where the tiny minority not only demand an equal voice, but demand the dominant voice for a cause. Got a town athiest? Kiss that veteran's cross on the hill goodbye, damn the other 99.993% of the citizens of the town. Got somebody who has a telescope? No lights for you! Telescopers' Rights! Got two guys or two gals who want to shack up together? Marry us now! We don't care about your silly citizen's referendum!

If somebody wants to constantly experience a pitch-black night sky, then perhaps they should restructure their lives and move to a location with such an environment. Heck, even the Unabomer had the decency to go live in a rusty old shack out in the middle of nowhere.

I spend several weekends a year in the country, watching the little critters, (and the big ones) sky watching and communing with nature. I love it.

But trying to force other people to adjust their lives so I can have what I want is just wrong.
