 Sometimes, I've had just about enough about something or everything
and need to vent somewhere. I'll try to keep it about LA strip clubs, but who
knows. It might turn out to be just good ol' babbling and chanting. Good material
for flame mail....Must calm down. Damn, this acupuncture treatment. People Giveth, Then Court Taketh AwayNovember 22, 2006 In the same month, the Seattle voters turned down the opportunity to ban lap dances by forcing dancers to be 4 feet away from the customers, then days later, the Nevada Supreme Court, overturns a lower court decision and upheld a ordinance that makes "grinding," as well as other lap dance activities now illegal again in Las Vegas. On one hand, the Seattle vote gives the message that, at least in Seattle, people don't think that lap dances are on the top priority of what police should be worried about right now. On the other hand, the Nevada high court tells us that, yes indeed, lap dances are bad, probably immoral, and certainly does not belong in Sin City. Sorry, I mean Las Vegas. If lap dances are to be banned in Sin City, in what city are there anybody that has the balls to argue to any court that their city should be allowed to have lap dances? The funniest part of all this is, the people who were fighting this new ordinance, the lawyers, club owners and strippers, are the ones giving up, saying that lap dancing is gone and so are their cash cow businesses and jobs. But the Las Vegas city attorney is saying that lap dances are still legal, just don't do any grinding or putting the breasts on anybody's faces. The dancers and club owners know the reality of this decision. Back in the 70's when nobody knew what lap dances were, a low mileage lap with just a brush of the knee would be good enough to please the customer. But since the proverbial genie, or penie, as the case maybe, is out of the bottle, or pants, it's going to be a hard sell to satisfy a customer with an air dance. The casinos didn't like the strip clubs taking away their money, and decided to put the hammer down. It looks like the casinos have won this round. The only round left is the U.S. Supreme Court. The good news is, the U.S. Supreme Court may once and for all, decide if lap dancing is protected by the Constitution. The bad news is, the U.S. Supreme Court may once and for all, decide if lap dancing is protected by the Constitution.
