We have a duty to protect our minors

Has anyone considered the main reason to have bikini/lingerie coffee stands regulated is that many of the girls are under 18? Isn't that exploitation of a minor?

Do you really want your 16-year-old son driving with a car load of his buddies pulling into one of these stands -- then getting back on the road even more distracted?

In the original article about these trashy stands it is said that some of these girls only wear pasties. How can that be legal? Isn't that a peep show? No one should have to be subjected to this driving down the road with their family. There are places for that, which have covered windows. Now the state of Washington lets/makes people see a free peep show on any corner. It's disgusting. Isn't the world sick enough? Put your clothes back on and sell coffee, not sex.

Money motivates people to do a lot of stupid things. Including turning nice neighborhoods into trash. Some people say that these espresso stands have found a niche. Exploiting women and children is a niche? The world's problems all start with greed. Think about it.
