if lap dancing is "free speech" why must one pay for them?
I was wondering that myself.

No, but they are commerce - which to many (esp some libertarians) is considered a far more vital right.

Then again, if corporate campaign contributions can be considered free speech, would a lap dance be considered one as well if it were paid for by a corporation?

Not ALL newspapers; also, I was being somewhat sarcastic.
