Zoning and Internet domains are apples and oranges. They aren't even close to being in the same category.

I disagree. They're exactly the same. Zoning is a way of controlling where business and residential development occurs. A domain name if the cyber equivalent since it acts as the "location" on the World Wide Web in the mind of the user. Telling a Web site developer that he must use the xxx extention for his porn site is exactly like telling the strip club owner that he can't build his club next to a school or church.

No. If you want to bring that example to how the web works it would be better to say "The strip club owner can build his club next to a school or church, he just can't put the strip club sign up"
