New strip-club rules to go before voters
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFFVoters will have a chance to decide whether brighter lights, tip jars and a 4-foot distance between strip-club entertainers and customers should be required in Seattle’s adult cabarets.
The King County elections office has certified that enough signatures have been gathered to place the referendum on the ballot next year.
I’m envisioning all sorts of dinner table conversations about this; all kinds of it. Young boys asking their mothers and fathers. There are just too many jokes, really.
Sometimes democracy in action is interesting. People in Iraq are killing each other over who they’re going to vote for, and people in Seattle won’t even bother to turn out for a referendum on titty bars.
Somehow it just doesn’t make sense. These people voted five times on their monorail, each victory reading to nothing more than another fight and another vote. Perhaps we’ll see several years of voting, and fighting over what’s appropriate in Seattle’s strip clubs.
Either way, this is just weird.
