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

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.

"Got somebody who has a telescope? No lights for you! Telescopers' Rights!"

Are you people just saying this just to see who can top who.

Where are you getting the idea that you cant have lights?

let me help you out in English.

A) Point you beloved light towards your house since your light is meant to protect your property.

B) Shield it so the PRIVATE PROPERTY owners next door do not have to be forced to be blinded by your lights. Last time I checked thats called common curiosity. Sadly it's something thats no longer a conservative value to too many people here.

It has nothing to do with telescopers' rights or privileged whiners. It's called respect for places that are not your own.
