How the heck is a regulation prohibiting lighting up the night sky well ABOVE the Taco Bell going to have a "devastating impact" on its business? Some anti-environmentalists are even loonier than the looniest environmentalists. Maybe DeWeese and the Taco Bell manager and their buddies should protest by climbing up the poles of soon-to-be-illegal upward-aiming lights, and refusing to come down, daring the local governments to cut down the light-poles. That way they could save the forest of inefficient lights from being turned into an "economic disaster zone". Yeah, that would make sense. And then all the local businesses could continue to waste their money competing with each other to have the tallest, brightest signs (just $25,000 for the Citgo station, and that doesn't include the electric bills to run it -- and we wonder why the price of gas is so high).

Well, here is one I had better not touch. I hate the thought of one more law and one more agenda, and one more "Cause"!

But I am also an amateur astronomer, so I am at a loss as to what witty dismissal I can make of this without being a hypocrite, I suppose.

Maybe too much light in the sky is like me jamming my neighbor's TV? Because I use my scope more hours than I watch Network!

Other than that I dunno what to say about this one.....
