#1 I'm all for lapdances and such (they should change the law in San Diego while they're at it) but claiming First Ammendment rights trivializes the Constitution.

#2 SD Councilmen are under indictment for taking ~~bribes~~ campaign contributions from Vegas and SD club personnel to try and get this on the Council agenda. The Vegas owner plead guilty and is a cooperating witness...wonder who organized the activists here? BTW - I'm all for it as well

#3 My bet is you could stand outside the gates to Marine Air Station Mirimar and get the needed signatures in a week. If you put someone outside Camp Pendelton or the Naval bases you'd get enough signatures in a day.

The idiot bribery scandal was doing things back-asswards. If the guy wanted to spend the money he should have paid some petition gatherers and gone directly to the people. It would have been cheaper and probably more successful.

#4 I say ban it! Ain't nuthin but a big nasty tease!

[Note: If the dancers collect the sigs, you'll need more signature sheets printed up.]

#5 Larry Flynt was active in California politics recently. Sounds like his ~~seed~~ speed.

#6 Yank, aren't there private clubs in SD? I haven't been to one of these in years, but I remember a LOT of lap-dancing going on. Has that changed over the past four years?

#8 I'm not sure what you mean by 'Private Clubs" but there are at least two strip clubs near Mirimar Marine Air Station (I work in that area). You can get lapdances there, but I think touching the dancers is illegal. That's what the big bribe thing Frank G mentioned was about. Touching means more money and the owner of one of the clubs was bribing City Councilment to change the law. From what I understand touching is still tolerated by the dancers, but the owners and company try to stop it for fear of legal problems.
