Fec: "...club owners and those patronizing them are not high quality people."

"They generally disdain the rules of common courtesy
which are necessary to get along in a civilized society.

All of them? 

They habitually drive drunk and wake their neighbors
when they come home.

They?

Who are they?

Really?

This is a facet of our society which we tolerate
despite the fact they engage in selfish pursuits and represent a real,
present and persistent danger to the community.

...once the perpetrators begin to be bad neighbors,
tax-paying citizens who get up early and spend their days
trying to be a credit to the community have a right to insist the laws be upheld,
and changed where they are found to be insufficient.

Greene Street Club is the problem.

Wasn't it "all of them"?

Attempts to blame the other clubs downtown
and accusations that residents and business owners are exhibiting undue influence
do not accurately address the reality of the situation."

Talk about a conflict of visions!?! Wow! “….tax-paying citizens who get up early” eludes to a traditional republican right-wing line about being a good taxpayer. Immediately followed by “…trying to be a credit to the community” which is a collectivist view that the abstract concept of community is an entity in and of itself that requires tribute, rather than community merely being an abstract concept being made up of individuals and actions/decisions thereof.

Hence a good citizen is a tax generator who pays such tax in tribute to the collective. Wow! Further, others outside this tax and pay scenario are:

(1) “They generally disdain the rules of common courtesy which are necessary to get along in a civilized society.”,

(2) “This is a facet of our society which we tolerate despite the fact they engage in selfish pursuits and represent a real, present and persistent danger to the community.”
