But ... Christchurch to switch off lights ... for climate?
What of the implications?
Will this contrived crisis, token and expedient response, be sufficient to increase violence and theft (http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:B9KNM5vkdToJ:www.dnr.wa.gov/geology/tsuinfo/2007-02.pdf+blackouts+and+burglary+rates&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=nz) ... and what of conception rates? (http://www.snopes.com/pregnant/blackout.asp).
Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker said the event was a chance to "raise the bar" (http://www.stuff.co.nz/4341620a11.html), a definite reference to violence ... The city's key Civil Defence organisers support the initiative, which involves non-essential lighting. Street lights will not be affected ... but in those additionally created, dark recesses, behind lit streets ...
But it's OK, there would be no clash with the Crusaders - they play in Wellington on the Friday night - and at this stage all cities would mark the hour between 8pm and 9pm, although this may be adjusted in Christchurch, depending on summer twilight.
Orion chief executive officer Roger Sutton said it was appropriate that Christchurch was the first New Zealand city to sign up for Earth Hour because it was already forward-thinking.
Sooo ... it wont affect the rugger ... nor the violence, coz violence only happens After Midnight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Midnight), coz
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout.
We're gonna stimulate some action;
We're gonna get some satisfaction.
We're gonna find out what it is all about.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang down.
Almost, but not quite, a 'bob each way' Parker. Perhaps our Bob is simply trying to follow in the footsteps of trans tasman Big Man, Peter.
