Don't worry. I'm not going to make this blog "The Daily Brews You Can Use," but this story is already two days old, so I didn't want to hold it back until tomorrow:

> [Milwaukee's taverns and nightclubs could be required to install security cameras to keep an eye on customers both inside and outside, under an ordinance proposed by downtown Ald. Bob Bauman](http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=508261&ref=thedailyeudemon.com).

Readers of this blog know that I have no problem with security cameras. I wouldn't care if there were cameras in every public (public) place in America. A bar is semi-public: privately owned, but open to the public. I detest the idea of making a person spend money to further a public purpose, unless that person directly creates the need for the expenditure. I don't like the ADA, for instance. That's a remarkably-expensive piece of legislation that put enormous costs on private business owners through the United States (mostly, to build ramps that, I'm told, will be obsolete in a few years because of wheelchair engineering advances through nanotechnology--but that's a different story). In this case, do the bar owners create the need for cameras because fights break out in their joints? That strikes me as a stretch.
