I object
 

I have been working for a gentalmens club for the past 4 years. I don't think that it is right that we have to change the way we make our money because there are 2 or 3 pepole who are offended by our jobs. The laws you are trying to pass are out-dated. We are in the year 2008, not 1950. If you work in an adult only establishment, or choose to spend your time in such places, you should have the choice as a free American to do so. Not to be told that what your doing is a violation, or wrong. As adults (18 and  up) we pay taxes, vote, and have always been told that we are Americans and have the freedom, and the right, to choose how we live our lives the way we feel is best for us. So, why is it, that adults who CHOOSE to spend their time, and hard earned money, in a ADULT establishment must be punished, because of the ALCOHOL that is served there? Alcohol has NOTHING to do with the way people dress, dance, work, act, ect.  Just because a MARRIED couple are in a bar and the husband touches his wife on the buttocks, that is considered wrong, or why the bar would get a  violation? Please reconsider these regulations.  You can write a better regulation than this.
