No Cussing Allowed, Dammit!

(St. Charles, Missouri) Well, shucks! A bill has been proposed to control the level of liveliness in the historic downtown area of St. Charles. Apparently, people are having way too much fun. The legislation would prohibit table-dancing, drinking contests and cussing.

Specifically banned would be "indecent, profane or obscene language, songs, entertainment and literature" in bars.

Business owners see the bill as not well defined and a possible violation of civil rights. I believe it would be almost impossible to enforce. Of course, that's even assuming that the town leaders could agree on what constitutes "indecent, profane or obscene." Nonetheless, a meeting is scheduled at City Hall next Monday to hash out the proposal.
