Can't a community decide these issues? Issues like strip clubs, adult book stores, prostitution, etc.?

Of course. Zoning to limit where adult businesses function is perfectly fine. However, that's quite different from trying to prevent people from watching porn in the privacy of their own home.

Well, my point was that a community is basically a small government. jimt believes that a "desire to have government deal with "sin", however, is the recipe for tyranny."

At what level of government? The state? The city?

Why can't a state like Utah ban whatever they want?
