Comments on: Police Attend Orgy Party http://www.briancuban.com/police-attend-orgy-party/ Brian Cuban's version of TRUTH, JUSTICE and the UN-AMERICAN WAY Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:43:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Patrick http://www.briancuban.com/police-attend-orgy-party/comment-page-1/#comment-2746 Patrick Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:14:42 +0000 http://www.briancuban.com/?p=661#comment-2746 I would have to say that these ordinances, and the reasoning behind them, are similar to the sodomy laws that, unless I heard wrong, were reversed in the state of Texas. It was determined that what someone does behind closed doors, even if its against the mainstream feeling, is not up to the mainstream to dictate as long as it doesnt hurt anyone. I found a quote from David Von Drehle who posted in the Washing Post "In an unexpectedly large step, the court said traditional morality is no justification for making legal distinctions among sexual behaviors of consenting adults. 'The fact that the governing majority in a State has traditionally viewed a particular practice as immoral is not a sufficient reason for upholding a law prohibiting the practice,' Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote, quoting approvingly from his colleague Justice John Paul Stevens." Doesnt it appear that this issue of the Cherry Pit would fall under the same protection? Or at least provide reasoning to keep the city from fining the establishment, or closing it down? just my two cents.

They cause traffic and parking problems, yet I see no raid or brand new ordinances in place to chase them out. This is the city council trying to impose its narrow version of morality on its citizens. Also, fifty more people just got introduced to "the system" and may face penalties, fees, and fines for years to come. What about the home prayer meetings on Tuesday nights across town?

What planet does the City live on? This is just projection, pure and simple. The reason people are in the lifestyle in the first place is to avoid stuff like sneaking around behind the backs of spouses, hiring prostitutes etc. Reports say that they found $500 in cash. With 55 people there, that is the stunning average of $9 per person. Some prostitution and money laundering operation. Can you say "overreach" and "fishing expedition"?

I can only imagine the increased traffic in that neighborhood, which would certainly have some street easement issues, or the right for other people in the neighborhood to get to their own homes. Why this can't be solved by taking it into the country is beyond me. But, I guess that would solve the problem then wouldn't it?
