"Could we just maybe put a 100 meter-wide circular buffer zone around the mountains? Just... poor concrete. Or astro-turf!"
If there were no houses in the mountains, fires there wouldn't be a concern.

"Thanks for the follow up information David, I'm glad to see this issue is getting publicity. This is a win-win situation and dark skies can also be used as a good selling point for tourism."
I was very disappointed to see that the new lights put up in Isla Vista on Pardall had no covers at all, sending half (or more) of the light up into the sky.

Exactly. The "drug war" is unsustainable. Furthermore, it is not the government's role to dictate how people live their lives.

"...Santa Barbara City College and UCSB students will still get free passes."
SBCC students voted in October to pay an additional $7 per semester for that privilege, up to $26 from $19 previously.

"Explains the need for prop 8..."
No, actually, it doesn't. Banning gay marriage won't prevent chemically-induced hermaphroditism.

"Perhaps the powers that be at SBCC ought to be rethinking the idea of dormitories."
I don't think there's room or money for dorms, regardless of the administration's will to build them.

Welsh is targeting not all "predominantly White churches" but specifically the Mormon church, due to the exceptional amount of money donated by its members. While many other denominations voted overwhelmingly in favor of Prop 8, they did not have such a tangible impact on the campaign.

Loveforall:
"Are there “civil rules” against killing people and stealing? Of course there are and they came from the bible."
No, they followed logically out of the vision of an enlightened society, where laws are based not in subjective morality. Murder and stealing are both harmful to innocent people, and therefore cannot be tolerated. This is an instance where logic and religious morality lead to the same conclusion, but such is not always the case.
"...with rules based on the morals of the majority."
As the founding fathers knew well, the will of the majority could not be trusted to maintain freedom, and that is why they established the judiciary, with "activist judges" empowered to override the people's will when it was deemed oppressive and unconstitutional.
