The FRC needs to understand government is not a role model for moral behavior. A government can punish people when they break the law. But it can't teach them how to be good people and behave with consideration for God, for others and for themselves.

No, but it can enforce the standards set by the community. At some point, someone decided that public urination and sex-toy shops operating openly did not meet those standards. Maybe it was the City Council, maybe it was a county ballot issue, maybe it was fifty years ago. However and whenever they came about, those legal standards are currently the law of the land,even if the "land" is just the township.

Maybe the community does feel that standards have changed. Instead of asking that the existing legal standards not be enforced, Joe Citizen should get out there and work to change the law. If enough of the community agrees that standards have changed, they'll vote Joe's way. If not, maybe Joe should vote with his feet and move to a community that has standards he can live with more easily.
