    Default Doomed from the start?

    The following article appeared in the Boulder Daily Camera under the headline "Strip club proposal riles some residents"...

    http://dailycamera.com/news/2007/apr...al-riles-some/

    Some quotes from the potential developer and the expected parade of residents upset by the possibility. The location is a small mountain town (pop. 1300+) about 20-25 minutes west of the People's Republic of Boulder.

    Does it have any chance whatsoever? The Camera put it up for a vote, with the SC idea losing 90-10. Some of my liberal friends up there are probably already organizing a "not in my back yard" campaign to defeat a non-proposal. Normal business in Nederland have a tough time surviving, much less something controversial. Of course, that may be precisely what might make it up there.

    Nonetheless, some of the commentary attached to the article is hilarious.

    Taco Bell I can understand. But Subway? No town is complete without a Subway. What the heck were they thinking?

    Yes, Subway!! Apparently, it's part of the evil empire like Walmart or something.

    Nederland is someplace I drive through, not to. Boulder's 100,000 plus visitors and large daytime student and employee population is barely enough (no pun intended) to keep the Bustop in business. How a 1300-person town could keep a SC alive is beyond me. He's hoping for business to drive 30 minutes north from the small-stakes gambling towns of Black Hawk and Central City. Fat chance. I think this is the ultimate strip club fantasy. Right?

    I found the story interesting in part because of the stereotyped reactions. Even in self-proclaimed hotbed of liberalism.
