Why do you care? I'd really like to understand why people want to stop these things. I know it's easier to explain to children that certain people aren't right as rain when they are banished from view, but that ain't forever and maybe the visibility today is better left to a parent's explanations then to a dial-it-futureward strategy.

Because they care about their lousy little rural Wisconsin town.

These guys may have picked the wrong site. Six or seven years ago Perrier, after being turned down for a water plant site west of Milwaukee (??) decided they'd head for the sticks where no one could afford the legal fees. They picked New Haven, where the citizens didn't want a water plant. After a fight of several years, which included a recall of several town officials which the New York Times (??) addressed as anarchy, Perrier gave up their plans and built in Michigan.

I think all of these kind of places should be built right beside the homes of folks who think as you do.

NIMBY.

And definitely not when it is already against the law in that community.
If you want what is universally described as licentious and immoral "sexual freedom" in the "privacy of your own bedroom" and are all consenting adults, fine.
If you choose to make your "private sexual choices obnoxiously public", the public has the right to denounce your obnoxious choices as abhorrent to existing community standards, and unwelcome.
It becomes my business when you make your private sexual practices public.
No, I do not have to pretend I think sexual perverts are normal. Nor must I tolerate sexual perverts conducting sexual acts in public.
Why do you think I should?

You don't have the mental horsepower to understand.
