I feel safer already!
Big congrats to Sen. Matt Bartle of Lees Summit for making us all safer! Matt, who I think ultra conservative moron would be a better title, helped push through a monumental bill that will ban one of the most heinous acts of modern times, lap dancing. I have to say that once I heard the news I was ecstatic! Think of the impact on crime by banning lap dances and all nude dancing. Surely you have seen the news about victims of drive by lap dances, or those that were unemployed becuase of nude dancing, or our poor roads in Missouri because dancers can touch patrons. Or perhaps you have heard about those kids without health care becuase of nude dancing clubs. Or the sad shape of our schools because of nude dancing? Wonder what the hell I am talking about? You should, because I listed some of the major problems we face in Missouri today, none of which are even remotely related to nude dancing or lap dancing. So my hats off to the Missouri legislature putting spreading their ultra conservative message over actually doing their fucking jobs, great job to all of you.
The ultra conservatives like Sen. moron mentioned above will try to tell you about all sorts of crime related to strip bars, but I have yet to see one objective study that has shown a correlation between the two. And no, a study done by Focus on the Family or the granddaddy of all hypocrites Pat Robertson does not count as objective. True some strip bars probably have higher crime rates around them, but I am pretty confident that this is not because of the strip clubs themselves but rather the crappy locations they have available to them because of zoning regs that frequently are designed to basically ban them without actualy banning them (which might be illegal to do outright, this is the ultra concervative tradition that I call "taking the pussy way out" (no pun intended) where you have to use a sneak attack because you don't have the balls to be up front about it.
Want to know the real irony of this situation? The same conservatives that support the right to bear arms (and practically fight to the death any attempty to limit that right in even the most sensible ways), and preach about how they need less government somehow feel the need to regulate people's private lives. What the hell is that about? Someone who is 18 can vote, drive, buy a gun and go to war for (and die for if necessary) their country but they can't get a lap dance until they are 21? That is awesome reasoning. I would love to get a response on that but I won't hold my breath.
This is just another example of how the group that allegedly wants smaller government, especially where big business is concerned, continually tries to regulate and legislate our private lives.
One might argue they aren't closing them down, and that is true. But that is thier intent. People probably aren't going to go to a strip club to watch someone dance 20 feet away. Some will, its not the end of the world, and no I don't frequent strip clubs myself. But if I want to do so, and I want some hot chick in a thong to grind her ass into my lap, isn't that my right to do so if all parties are cool with that?
Maybe Matt just needs to get laid or something. Thanks again Matt for making us all feel safer. Please let us know when you are going to get around to doing your damn job as senator rather than moral leader.
Here is an article about it in the KC Star if you want to read it, but just a heads up you have to register to read it (don't worry its free:)
