It's bad enought the food at McDonalds is terrible. It's even worse
when every McDonalds has a searchlight on top of EVERY McDonalds. Living in the city, it is tolerable for when a car-dealership or nightclub pulls out the searchlight to gather people to come to their business. Typically they only do this once every other weekend. But the McDonnalds Corporation has made it irksome and annoying. Light pollution is one of the main reasons why people don't see as many stars in the city as they do in the country. But when there is a McDonnalds literally within a five mile radius of each other, and each of them has a searchlight, the only visible object is the moon. All other stellar objects, even the brightest of stars, become difficult to see when I want to do some backyard astronomy or just want to look at the stars. What will happen to the sky when the lights have outshined the moon? Seeing not the heavens above us but projected advertising and an overkill of searchlights? To not sleep at night because night has become day? To put it bluntly, why are we just letting them get away with this? I want my night sky back! |

Shoot them with rocks, slingshot, bow and arrow, handgun, shotgun, sniper rifle, whatever. The fact that they have too many search lights is a good reason to get mad and file a civil class action lawsuit, boycott McDonalds, and petition to cease and decist (sp) if you are a professional astronomer or a simple stargazer! DO NOT SIT ON THE FENCE AND LET THIS BECOME AN AGGRESSIVE EPIDEMIC! |
