[Dixielandjazz] dancing kids

This kind of activity folks is what has killed off most of the Jazz 
nightclub business around the country, and put countless musicians and 
other service employees out of work.


 Time to get Drunk and start a Revolution.


  The funny thing is however that Cops are often bigger drunks than the 
customers they often bust for a living. :)) They are notorious for 
their antics in many places, and are exempt from arrests most of the 
time just by flashing their badge to the officer who stops or 
encounters them in a DUI WUI situation. The old taking care of our own 
comrade scenario, and keeping down the Bad PR for the department and 
profession.   Perhaps we could start a new movement to have the Sunday 
Schools hire OKOM bands, or the  jr. and elementary high school bake 
sales.

Sometime progress has unpleasant side effects on elements of society 
that the law makers do not even have a clue about.

Jeers,

Tom

  The police in San Jose, CA have done a really "great" job in shutting 
down most late evening entertainment in the downtown area. They still 
try to roll up the sidewalks by 11PM with all sorts of harassment 
techniques. Don't ever try to open a nightclub there. 
  
  Even if one walks under the influence, they can get you if they want - 
Drunk in Public, WUI - anything...

example (Chico was known as the best "party college/town" for many 
years.)
