Iowa's biggest city may legalize late-night dance (AP)

AP - Dancing the night away in Des Moines doesn't seem to be at the top of many must-do lists. Maybe because it's illegal. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

It's like a flashback to "Footloose".

Great news!! I've been searching for a place to dance at between two and six o'clock in the morning. I'll just drive from Pennsylvania right on over to Iowa tonight. Talk about your worthless news story!

Isn't there a web site called "sillylaws" or something? I'll bet Des Moines is in there somewhere.

I thought the Supreme Court struck down such ordinances years ago? If not, they should have.

Well it's about time. Iowa prisons are busting with dance related crimes.
Now they can focus on the real criminals. Those pesky sidewalk spitters.

I wonder if people will be fined if they are dancing in their cars on the way home too. Des Moins is prude, greedy for money, or both.
Ahhhh. Thank god I live in California!

Yeah, imagine dancing being illegal in the USA at all, at any time, what a joke. Oblambo will probably make new permit required for establishments that will have inside dancing during these hours. The revenue generated could be used for enhancing medical treatments related to foot, leg, and groin injuries caused by dancing. But he will first want to hire a new "Dancing Zsar"

I wonder what the thinking must be to enact laws like this in the first place. Someone must have actually thought it was a good idea at some point.

irs agent sonovavitch frowns on such activity. if you give
people a micron they will take 100 million parsecs.
the bulletin of atomic scientists sez it is past 2 am and
the bars have closed permanently. all fun must cease immediately.
moses has come down from the mountain, with serious information.
and what does he see, mobs dancing around a golden calf, a graven
idol. the hilltop hermit will get his revenge. as in 'the case of
the hilltop hermit' by parry mazon. many women love to sneak
out the window and 'dance the night away' by cream, disraeli gears.
irs agent sonovavitch knows this causes distress in husbands
and boyfriends. disturbs their work rhythms.; we have a budget
and infinite funding to do. this may upset the whole applecart.
try dancing at home if you have one.

Just a further sign of irresponsible nitwits.

What else are you going to do at that hour of the morning, when you are on welfare?

This will send a message to the younger kids.

If it takes until 6 AM to find someone to take home, either you or the other person is going to be very disappointed when you wake up.

Well, a hundred years ago, there was probably no dancing at all. It would take years to get all these stupid "Blue Laws" off the books. People, unless they work nights shouldn't even be out after 2, unless it's a private affair, unless the church sanctions it, unless ????

colonel sinner by queensley amis. in this military adventure, chinese
troops by the zillions swoop down on america, eat everything
in sight and take all the women while raping,pillaging and looting
and laughing. the american men are caught not only with their
pants down, but off. running around like stone age men with
nothing but their yangs yangs to fight with. their peters are shot
off before they can even say hoo hoo boo boo. and the women,
the prize for the chinese men to play with forevermore, thus
creating a giant eurasian race to conquer the universe with.
apache put up stiff resistance, but are mowed down like no more
than locusts of love. but ya go ahead partiers party, party like
there's no tomorrow. cause they may not be a tomorrow, and
the federal tax revenue is gonna cut off to des moines. party's all
end some time.
