The lights out Denver actually sounds like a <i>better</i> Denver -- Bravo! No more wasting water on grass. We are facing a real water crisis in the world. No more redundant street lights to pollute the night sky.  My car already has headlights and I'd rather see stars and fewer wasted kilowatts and less pollution in the air..<p>Insurance protects people against loss due to fire and if you are relying on the fireman to save you, you're not very wise. I've watched homes burn to the ground right along side the fire crews.  We've already crossed the line into police state, so reduction there probably will have little effect.  If you want to reduce the need for cops, make fewer things illegal.  Isn't dope already legal in Denver?
