Proposal that would ban swearing in bars.......

-ST. CHARLES, Mo. - What the ...? A St. Louis-area town is considering a bill that would ban swearing in bars, along with table-dancing, drinking contests and profane music.

City officials contend the bill is needed to keep rowdy crowds under control because the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights.

City Councilman Richard Veit said he was prompted to propose the bill after complaints about bad bar behavior. He says it will give police some rules to enforce when things get too rowdy.

But some bar owners worry the bill is too vague and restrictive, saying it may be a violation of their civil rights.

Marc Rousseau, who owns the bar R.T. Weilers, said he thinks the bill needs revision.

"We're dealing with adults here once again and I don't think it's the city's job or the government's job to determine what we can and cannot play in our restaurant," Rousseau said.

The proposal would ban indecent, profane or obscene language, songs, entertainment and literature at bars.

A meeting to discuss the proposal is set for Jan. 14.-

Whatever happened to our "freedom of speech"?

"You're being fined $50 for saying 'damn' to your friend." "What?" "You're lucky. That guy is spending the night locked up at the station for saying 'fuck that' to his girlfriend. And he'll have to make a court appearance to contest the $150 fine I threw on him." "You're joking." "I just fined this institution $1000 for playing AC/DC." "What the fuck!?" "Alright, buddy. You just earned yourself a night in the slammer and a $150 fine."
