Every time an election rolls around, strip clubs and their patrons become easy targets for politicians especially at the local and the state level. The state of Georgia is trying to pass a state amendment that would charge strip clubs a $5000 yearly tax to stay in business. This tax would supposedly go towards helping to stop sex trafficking. Politicians are blaming sex trafficking on strip clubs. The state of California is always after the porn industry even though it brings the state in millions of dollars in tax money. A few years ago the state of Texas tried to institute a "pole tax" that would directly tax strip clubs and their customers.
The politicians need to leave strip clubs alone. If you do not want to go in them, stay home, go to a ball game, do something with your family or whatever. No one is forcing you to go in there. The women I know that work in strip clubs make much better money in there than they could as a cashier at Wal-Mart. If they want to place the blame on anything, blame alcohol for spousal abuse, child abuse, drunk driving, and bring back Prohibition. Let's see how well that would go over.

Nice Guys Finish Last
Legendary Baseball manager Leo Durocher is credited with coming up with the concept of "nice guys finish last." Mr. Durocher believed that nice guys did not have or do all of the dirty work that it took to win games. A lot of people apply that same concept to life. How does that concept apply to me? Am I a nice guy or am I that guy?
Public opinion seems to be mixed on that question but according to most that have weighed in, I am a little bit nice guy and a little bit that guy. How is that combination working for me you ask? Not too good. It seems that the people that I want to think I am a nice guy end up thinking I am that guy and the people that I could care less what they think believe I am a little bit of both. Someone recently advised me to "be myself" and it ended up coming out a combination of nice guy/that guy. That's ok though, because I wouldn't have me any other way.
