Switch on the Starlight: The World Night

Posted on | April 20, 2010 | 2 Comments

There’s nothing like watching a movie under a starlit sky. Or being in a darkened theater. In my intro to media course years ago, the prof told us that celebrity watching (=star watching) has taken over as entertainment. As a society, we thrive on gazing upon celebrities’ lives, their whereabouts, clothes, and behavior. The ancients used to go outside and stargaze. I advocate a return to true stargazing, and for that, we need to defend our right to starlight so that we’ll be able to see the stars.

Tonight (April 20, 2010) is the World Night, and people all over the globe will be turning down their lights. So I hope you’ll turn down the lights with me and enjoy the starlight, tonight and every night.
