Of course you are NOT aware that this is NOT an option. Federaly decided case laws already dictates that you cannot do this. In otherwords, we cannot BAN these businesses. Believe me, we've tried (Simi Valley CA). We are left with the option of playing games with them by passing ordinances about location. This is what we are left with, telling them they cannot open a business like this within 100 feet of a school or a religious site.
Now let me ask you supposed conservatives ONE final question:
Who should ultimately decide what is best for a community, the local community, the state or the federal govenment, and in what order is precedence given with regard to nudy bars and pornography?
The whinny b.s. about the nanny state is a joke. It's a ruse to pretend that you are somehow protecting invidual rights when in reality all you are protecting is the Federal government's authority to decide everything for your local community.
I think that all levels of government should be held to the same standard. Infringing on the rights of others is not acceptable, just because it was done by a local or state government. I do know of the legal restrictions that make it difficult to use zoning restrictions, however, I do know that here in Vegas the law is 1500 yeards from a school, nearly a mile away. This, combined with picketing and other measures by concerned citizens do most likely end the dreaded strip club problem.
Government isn’t there to assuage your sense of moral outrage, it’s there to protect rights. There are ways to deal with strip clubs without the coercive power of the state. The problem is that people don’t care enough to be down there picketing or doing anything that takes more effort than complaining to the Masters of the Universe, aka the State.
The property owner. (Unless you prefer a system where private property is abolished.)
