Seattle's liberal reputation may be taking a hit.

The city council is planning to vote Monday on regulations at strip clubs -- including banning lap dances and placing dollar bills in a dancer's G-string.

It's them damn "breeders!"

It the dancers were gay, I'll bet there'd be no problem at all!

They just don't like the idea of nekkid wimmin!

No problem. Just advertise the clubs as giving gay lap dances. That would stop the city in its tracks.

When either liberals or conservatives get into government, they sooner or later turn to meddling in and legislating the sexual interactions of consenting adults. Good to know Seattle has nothing more important to worry about - must be paradise up there.

There's a state representative from my local area in MO who's been on a mission to run all the adult businesses out of the state. When he introduced what was in effect a ban on strip bars (dancers had to be 19, rather than 18, no physical contact allowed, minimum distance of 10' between dancers and clients, new "licensing fee" on the dancers, additional "sin tax" on everything sold, like drinks, and a new "fee" for entry into the premesis). When he couldn't get the bill passed, he decided to add this stuff into a drunk driving bill. It was ruled unconstitutional, as the Constitution of the State of MO does NOT allow unrelated amendments... To bad the US Constitution doesn't have that restriction. Imagine how much pork barrel spending that would cut out.

Banning Lap Dances and no dollar in G-Strings. That sounds unconstitutional. Freedom to flaunt it and get paid. ;)

In all seriousness, I'm not against strip clubs in big cities, non residential neighborhoods. But if they take away the lap dances and dollar bills in the G-strings. Takes the whole fun out of it, no? Either get rid of them entirely or just leave it alone.

Btw- i'm a chick so...i probably shouldn't even be weighing in on this topic..
