Clubbing for kids?!

What is the world coming to? So what if there is no cigarette smoke and softer music? How much softer can the music be? Fast beats are still needed for disco dancing. It can be softer in terms of volume, yes, but not in terms of tempo. Why expose kids to such activities? Is there any real benefit in doing so? I really don't know what the organizer, who is a mother, is thinking. "Innocent fun", my foot! There are other ways to achieve this.

These activities are for those 18 years old and above. Why make the kids grow up so fast? If indeed it is "good clean fun", why hold it in a night spot? This kind of defeats the meaning of the term? I think it is more of the selfish purpose of satisfy- ing parents' own whims for nostalgic clubbing. Some kids are really too young for this and though there are kid-related activities in the event, these activities can be held elsewhere. It is the venue that is a problem. Alcohol is still available for the parents. Paying extra for it will not diminish the chances of the negative consequences related to it from happening.
