I am surprised that no one has brought up any concern about what light pollution may be doing to wildlife. I assume that most people on the net live in big cities and have not noticed the increase in light pollution in what they think is the "dark" countryside. I have news for you, thirty years ago it really was dark out there. Now we have what I like to call idiot lights at most houses. These are false security lights because it lets the thief get a better view of what he is taking and there is nobody close enough to see the thief. Gerhard K. Raile raile@iiasa.ac.at
