You got that right!....I thought there were just a couple screwballs on this thread, but it's total anarchy here. If folks really believed the stuff they are spewing here, society would completely collapse.

I like to do a little backyard astronomy......can't people just be polite enough to live without electric lights long enough (in a 50 mile radius) for me to look through my telescope?

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.

LOL! Unrelated but true....I live in the sticks and when the next door neighbor (1/4 mile away) installed a security light (on at dark, off at dawn) I finally asked if he could put a switch on it....he did. If I want to look at stars, it just takes a phone call....perhaps if more people had good manners, this thread wouldn't be necessary....
