| This Is Okay – But No Magic! |
There is a very strange story in The Herald of Monterey County. It doesn?t have an impact on the most of us ? but is it the steady encroachment of Magicians? Rights?
I
am no Constitutional Lawyer but it seems to me there must be some
amendment that says, ?Government shall create no law to infringe on the
right of a magician to perform.? And if there isn?t there should be.
The Montereyauthorities have an on-going dispute with a club owner over what he can do with his establishment.
Sure, if Bill Lee of the Marina Airport Restaurant wants to have exotic
dancing or suggestive erotic dancing, he?s okay as long as he doesn?t
have more than 50 people attending.
But
under the new agreement he has with the county, he has to inform the
authorities if he is going to change his cabaret fare from mostly naked
people dancing and serving liquor to the more hard-core type of
entertainment such as ?belly dancing or magicians.?
The Herald quotes a local religious leader: Calvary Baptist Church Pastor Tim Knauf said Friday that while he’s not trying to stymie business in Marina, he is disappointed that the city has allowed an activity that is not “wholesome.”
I think he?s talking about the belly dancing ? I think.
