How about local community standards?

In my very small town a porn shop opened. The town didn’t want it, there was a petition signed, town meetings with something like 90% opposed. It’s right on the main street and kids walk past on their way to and from school.

But there is a state law saying that no one can stop a porn store from operating. That’s it. Of course, I live in lovely leftist OR where live sex shows are legal.

Why do you want strip clubs and porn legal? I do not want them legal, and I think if put to the people, many communities would not want them legal either. They weren’t legal until a couple of generations ago. Only very recently was the “right” to porn and strip clubs “found” in the Constitution. Along with the “right” to kill unborn babies.

What about 'em? I happen to like boobies and am suspicious of any "man" who doesn't.

How about zoning?

Ok, but how about someone who happens to like such establishments? Why do your morals supersede mine?

Because I like strip clubs and porn? Heh, i'd be a hypocrite in wanting something I like illegal, as many bible belters are. You should get together with your lib buddies and outlaw toilet paper, meat, internal combustion engines, and other "harmful" things. You'd make a great team. Outlaw all fun.
