I give you my solemn vow. I will fight until my dying breath to rectify this injustice! It will not stand. Not in the America I believe in. You will have to pull those scantily clothed waitresses out of my cold, dead hands. Freedom! (to see half naked ladies!)

Don't celebrate too much just yet, Thomas H. Tilted Kilt still has the option to appeal the ruling and go directly to the state's alcoholic beverage commission. And they may yet do that, considering the money they have already invested in this project (as well as the potential profits to be made). If they do, they may have a decent chance of getting this decision overturned since it seems to have been made on the grounds of the waitstaff's outfits rather than anything actually having to do with alcohol. If I understand it correctly, it was the liquor license that was denied, not their general business permit.

I do find it interesting that the law requiring notification (the one which prompted the board to reconvene on the matter) is heavily weighed in favour of a religious organization's ability to control the businesses around them. It requires any business within 500 feet of a church to prove that its business will not harm the church's affairs. How exactly does one do that? How do you prove a negative, especially when all it takes is one church member to say otherwise, and without any such burden of proof on the church? The wording of the requirement (if it is reported correctly) is pretty lopsided in favour of the church.

But, that's the beauty of the concept of States' Rights. Contrary to popular belief, the so-called "separation of church and state" only applies to our federal government. States (and their political subdivisions) were intended to have this autonomy. It is very rarely supported in the courts, but still...

The Funny thing about Freedom and rights are .. what one person calls freedom another may call boundage .. and knowing that we all have the right to like or dislike
things ,Is a great Freedom in it self.
even if the Tilted kilt opens or not - I really do not care -I just LOVE it when people
have to really have to stop and think is it worth it ???
And for a church to get people all railled up is great and Funny .
Just have fun with it , I know I did as I was LOL any way - funny
Mean what you say and say what you mean

If the pub is a slap in the face for this boy, then Christmas must be a kick in the goodies, with the Quincy Center all dolled up in pagan symbols!

And, yeah, it's funny when a religion gets its followers all riled up. History is replete with such hilarity.

I will say that I am not nearly as excited about scantly clad waitresses as you probably are

Unless they look like this:



If so, then BRING ON THE FREEDOM!

According to the Tilted Kilt web page under "History" is the statement, ...

"While the Tilted Kilt concept has its roots deep in the rousing tradition of Scottish, Irish and English Pubs ... Tilted Kilt was conceived to be a contemporary, Celtic-themed sports Pub staffed with beautiful servers in sexy plaid kilts and matching plaid bras."

That pretty much sums it up. They don't claim to be Scottish or historically authentic.

PS: The server in Meggers' picture violates the dress code.
