Imagine If There Were No Street Lights

• 2. Street lights are an abomination. Imagine if there were no street lights
• 1. I can…
• 2. Wouldn't the streets feel better walking though, wouldn't town and cities feel like the real spaces they are - rather than everything painted in a florescence.
• 1. Don't you think there might be problems with this?
• 2. I don't see how. I think people would be happier if the was light in the way we expect - I think lights during the evening always make me feel odd - off - it is not something natural.
• 1. I think you're getting confused here. You're saying people feel crazy because, deep down, they can't handle light when it is supposed to be dark?
• 2. Yeah -
• 1. -Well don't you think more nasty things would happen to people at night, in the dark, than they might in lit areas?
• 2. I think that is quite unfair. Roads wouldn't be completely pitch black - some people's houses would be lit-up a little.
• 1. There would be a glow...
• 2. And on a clear night people would be able to navigate by moon-light.
• 1. I really think that there are more stabbing and muggings in dark places than in well lit places
• 2. I just don't think this is true - I think you only think that because you've been told to be scared of the dark.
• 1. - Wait - you think that it is unnatural to have lit streets because it is unnatural - and it is also unnatural to be scared of the dark.
• 2. I think it is unnatural for the modern man to be scared of the dark. Your eyes adjust. If everyone's eyes adjusted we wouldn't need street-lights
• 1. So people should be encouraged to just learn how to see in the dark?
• 2. Yeah.
• 1. What about cars?
• 2. What do you mean?
• 1. What about when you're driving your car back form work at night, and you don't have a lights and you really can't see that far in front of you.
• 2. Well, firstly my car would cost less when replacing bulbs.
• 1. I think it would cost more in the long run – you know, after you’ve run a few people down, knocked a few kerbs…
• 2. Okay, so maybe cars keep their lights –
• 1. So now we have a situation where cars have lights and no one else does. So what about a mugger who hangs out on a junction waiting for victims to get dazzled by some headlights -
• 2. Maybe everyone should be trained in kung-fu…
• 1. Except the muggers?
• 2. Yeah.
• 1. When do you teach them?
• 2. At school, obviously.
• 1. How do you know which ones are going to be muggers when they grow up?
• 2. Do you mean you could never tell?
• 1. Could you?!
• 2. Of course!
• 1. Like who?
• 2. Do you remember Geoffrey Quintice?
• 1. No.
• 2. Well, he was one of those kids who always used to throw stuff and nick stuff and generally be a pain to teachers.
• 1. Riigght?
• 2. Well, I knew that he was always going to turn to a life of crime.
• 1. Quintice was the one who stole your pencil-case in art and wrapped it in clay wasn't he?
• 2. I really don't feel this is relevant.
• 1. No, he was wasn't he? Do you remember the noise that the explosion mad in the kiln? That really went bang.
• 2. I do not think this affects my assertions however. I knew from that age he would always turn to a life of crime. A low and behold last month he got banned from driving.
• 1. Seriously?
• 2. Yeah he was going waaaay too fast-
• 1. - no I mean, seriously, that's what you call a life of crime?
• 2. I bet he has parking tickets too.
• 1. I think we ought to speed up if we want to catch this thing.
• 2. Yeah, okay.

»>You are in a forest. To the North is a dirt path, to the South is a dirt path, to the East is forest, to West is a forest. It is silent. You don’t know how you got here.
