The spirit of 1776 lives on in topless clubs across the United States, its center stage taking place in the unlikely environs of northern Indiana as Bible thumpers erect two-hundred billboards across Indiana highways urging motorists that topless night clubs and pornography cause crime. 

The clubs of Hammond and South Bend, Indiana are at first forced to shut down at 10 p.m. while imposing ten foot rules on their customers, thanks to the American Family Association, one of the more outspoken spawn of the "Mothers for a More Boring Nation".  

We've seen this before, back 2000 years ago when the  morality preaching types composing the "Mothers for a More Boring Nation" crucified Christ.   We saw it more than two hundred years ago when the powers that be hanged the Salem witches.   We saw it from 1920 to 1933 during the Prohibition years when a more modern "Mothers for a More Boring Nation" created a huge organized crime network when they passed the Prohibition Act which unsuccessfully tried to keep Americans from drinking. 

Then back in 1776 a small group of American patriots signed the Declaration of Independence from the tyrannical rule of Great Britain.   A revolution was won as thousands of Americans fought and died resulting in a brilliantly conceived Constitution with its Bill of Rights that would preserve among other things, the rights to freedom of expression, speech and the press that Americans seem all too willing to vote away.  

 The battle lines are firmly drawn.  There's no way out for you as you are asked to make your choice-----am I on the side of liberty and freedom of choice or am I going to join the ranks of those millions of control freaks to be ignominiously known hereafter as "The Mothers for a More Boring Nation"?  Ruby, our woman of the month, here at Alphapro, a topless dancer working for Cagneys in Fort Wayne, Indiana has made her choice by actively joining a new band of patriots----freedom fighters making their stand to preserve our  inalienable rights to freedom of Expression.   

So who's Ruby?  For one thing she's an utterly gorgeous young woman who doesn't even need makeup to look terrific.  Another thing---even though she lives four hundred miles from me, she put up and looked out for a St Louis Metro East dancer friend of mine, Brandy, when we all visited Fort Wayne, then drove down to my farm with two other dancers where she stayed two days.  But that was when she was twenty.  Now, several years later, even more mature and articulate, she's just approaching the age when a woman starts to reach her prime.  

Ruby's the kind of woman who's going to blow away all of your misconceptions about topless dancers.  And here she's not alone.   Her roommate, Heaven, is a damn good poet while back in Missouri now retired St Louis Metro East Dancer, Alex, publishes some rather brilliant stuff of her own.    Delirious Delilah who heads the Dear Delirious Delilah column here at alphapro, can build a computer while Anna (Brandy) who used to dance at 18 back at Dollies doesn't lag too far behind.   Talented is the best way to describe these young women and by talented we mean gifted in ways that transcend far beyond a dancer's pole.  

It's a new ballgame out there.   Most Americans are too self-involved to give a damn about how the inexorable machine of big government supported by those turd brained "Mothers for a More Boring Nation" types grind away our at our Civil liberties with each  passing year.   As a nation we are in a comfort zone of conformity as our brains rot internally from disuse.  There's no sitting on the fence here.  Everyone must take a side for here there's no middle ground.  Either you speak out loudly against those who fully intend to take away our basic rights Americans fought and died for or you remain silent just as millions of Germans did while Hitler took over their country and murdered six million Jews.
