Young strippers
Apparently, having solved all of our other problems, Hardaway has a bill that says strippers must be 21. This would make them as old as the patrons. I did always find it amusing that you had to be 21 to watch 18 year old girls dance naked, due to our booze laws.

I recall a long-ago summer job in NC where as a 16 year old I could serve alcoholic beverages to restaurant patrons; I could not get any myself though.
Making the age of adulthood higher and higher is an example of good intentions often leading to poor results. If one can vote for elected officials of government at 18, there is no reason on earth one should not be able to buy a drink or a gun, or choose one’s employment, or sign a contract. Either one is old enough at 18 for all of those things, or one is not.

I see a future demand for high quality fake id’s…

A guy named Hardaway wants to take away our teen-age strippers? Sounds like a hoax.

How old does a magazine have to be?

They tried that here in Oregon. Some dad got wind his 18 year old daughter was dancing. Went to his State Rep who began screaming about children getting naked etc. Legislature passed a law that said dancers must be 21. The new law was eventually struck down after about a year, due to a host of issues.
Always thought it was funny that politicians seem to ignore the fact that you can join the military at 18, buy a house etc, but an 18 year old taking their clothes off all the sudden become children.

Heck, by the time they’re 21 in Tenn., they’re already grandmothers anyway. And who wants to see their grandma nekkid !!

18 is old enough to die for your country, but apparently not old enough to be trusted with alcohol. This is why I think age restrictions are usually, if not always, stupid.
