Use permit denied

Ahh, those wonderful Kansans. Besides the whole school board and evolution thing (how come it's those who rail against evolution that seem to be the best evidence that we have common ancestry with the apes?), Via Ron on the SHS mailing list, the Leavenworth Kansas County Commission voted 2-1 Thursday against renewing a special-use permit for a spiritual retreat center that allows nudist retreats and pagan ceremonies:

Some claimed the camp was responsible for numerous wrecks nearby. But they also expressed another fear: that the nudity the camp allows could foster pedophilia and other illegal sexual activities.

"What about the moral cost of this?" asked county resident Mike Stieben.

Sigh.
