“When school children start paying union dues, that 's when I'll start representing the interests of school children.”
That notorious quote was from Albert Shanker, President of the Teachers Union (United Federation of Teachers) from 1964 to 1984 as well as President of the Teachers Union (American Federation of Teachers) from 1974 to 1997.

I will leave Barry's wife Michelle out of this answer .
You need to be as far away from civilization as possible. To avoid pollution .

Carrizozo, New Mexico is near our high desert property. Far out enough?
Hard to believe that there are people, reading this, who have never seen the full glory and splendor of the heavens.

In the mountains of Ethiopia, I have seen three satellites in the sky at the same time. And have watched the sky do a planetarium show as I spent the night repairing flat tires.

Who is more stupid the politician who everyone hates yet controls nuclear warheads and new laws?
Or the people who complain about the politician and yet never get off their ass to try and make change themselves?

Voting is good but you don't know the person your voting for so the only person you do know everything about is yourself so get up and become someone that can make a change for the better.

Good questions....

[jamieooh]

I would think that would be far enough.
I used to lay on the top of my tank and look at the night sky with night vision goggles.
That's pretty cool . Green but cool.
Also on liveleak there are several timelaps videos of the night sky from different areas.
You might enjoy. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=46d_1190735867
You might look at www.space.com . They might have maps for best night sky viewing .

Green. Sounds cool as hell.

Have you been in the dark long enough for your night vision to completely work? Moonlight seems like day and you can make out most things by starlight.

[jamieooh]

I have but has been along long time. I'm kind of a city boy now.
I 'm taking a big road trip this August to some national parks. I will try to remember to get away from it all one night and look up again. I probably better set a reminder on my phone . lol.
I would like to set up a blog just for this trip and post some pics and videos.

[shatto]

Absolutely do an album for us!

I hope you can get away from all the people who haul all their 'stuff' (God bless you George Carlin) into the wilderness so they will have everything they left....with them, and enjoy the magnificence of our land.

[jamieooh]

Honestly I will be taking a laptop . I'm taking that to download my pictures and hopefully upload to a blog or something similar. I need to check into that to see what my best options are. I will have to take my phone in case work has questions.
I'm going to the Badlands area up to Glacier national park.

[shatto]

Solar battery charger. Quieter than a Honda generator :)
What 'options' are you considering?

[jamieooh]

I'm not sure. I heard google has free sites. I just haven't looked in to it to much yet.
I want a something I can post pics and videos. I want it to be easy to use. Easy to set up. I don't want to have to learn html. On top of all that I hope to find something that allow me to upload fairly large files.
My digital camera pics in tiff mode will print out at 25x37 by default ( printers at work). I take pictures of nature.
Not very manly lol but its what I enjoy. I can send you a couple if you would like.

[shatto]

I have had good luck with Google's Picasa.

[eaglethebeagle]

nature not manly? Jamie tell that to Les Stroud and Bear Grylls those dudes are bad ass .

[recurveman]

The guys that wear their pants below the butt do it so that cops dont have to work as hard to catch them. The minute they start running their pants fall down and they fall. I personally think undercover cops started the trend to help their patrol buddies out a little bit.

[recurveman]

Afghanistan.. although dirty crappy place has beautiful stars thanks to the taliban. Taliban imposed laws say that everyone has to turn off their lights at 10pm :) yay!
