and if the town's committees have the support of the voters, it's perfectly legal and okey-dokey, so long as it does not violate the constitution.

Not quite.
There is a clear distinction between democracy and mob rule. That's why we are a Constitutional Republic.

And that is droll: killing and raping and burning and mayhem is O.K. as long as it doesn't violate the Constitution?
What a puerile statement!

Sorry sparky, not at all. It isn't mob rule if the majority that elected the leaders are the same majority who don't want the porn within eyeshot of their kids.
