> > Another big problem is places next to an ocean with turtles living in it. When turtles lay their eggs on the beach, the eggs hatch and the baby turtles follow the light, (usually the sun or moon reflecting the on the ocean) but in a city with tons of light pollution the cute, little baby turtles go toward that light instead. And they die. Most of them.

Do you know how many of these baby turtles there are? Thousands upon thousands. They can stand to lose a few, I think. And besides, what with all the sharks being eaten or poisoned these days, we need some way to keep the tutrle population in check. If it wasn't for these casinos, we'd be drowning in the things by now. You'd wake up in the morning and find yourself buried under 5 foot of tutrles, raiding your fridge and scratching your CDs. Is that the world you want to live in? Is it?

And as for astronomers, they've got big telescopes out in the middle of uninhabited wildernesses (like Kansas or Wales) all over the world. They've got that bloody big Hubble thing in orbit. They've got radio telescopes that aren't affected by light. How many more breaks do they need? Next you'll be sugessting we start burning down buildings just to keep firemen happy.
