The Clear Skies Initiative hanging by a thread

Lately I’ve noticed many violations of the Clear Skies Initiative (CSI). Although it is blatantly obvious that these incidences are offensive beyond all measure, even to someone with no prior knowledge of the CSI Act of 2004, as per usual, people have been reverting to complacency and mediocrity as they live in their little straw houses built in Idiot-ville. Just when I think today might be a pretty good day, for once in my life, I look up in sky and see a CSI violation. I guess it’s just about par for the course that nothing ever goes my way. When the CSI Act passed, I thought, “Great, now maybe I can relax and enjoy life a little.” All I really got was another dream shot to heck. I don’t know why I bother anymore, but here is my grievance list, as if anyone even cares.

Objects forbidden under the Clear Skies Initiative:

1. helicopters
2. airplanes
3. jet trails
4. hot air balloons
5. hang-gliders
6. big helium balloons at car dealerships
7. small helium balloons that some kid let go of
8. search lights
9. beacons
10. plastic shopping bags caught in tree branches
11. light bouncing off tin foil onto the ceiling
12. the reflection from anything shiny on a balcony
13. helicopters
14. laser pen lights

15. kites

Things that are allowed under the Clear Skies Initiative:

Sun, Moon, Clouds, and Stars—It’s not that hard!
