Real community values
Citizens for Community Values, having banned gay marriage, now wants to close porn stores and strip clubs at midnight. It seems to me that the right of private property is a more core "community value" than the hiding of T and A.
However, in this day where there are no enduring values or principles, I'm willing to compromise and meet them halfway. We'll close the strip joints at midnight...but churches can only be open from 7 until noon on Sunday morning. That's the only time most people want to go anyway. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
And it has nothing to do with "an establishment of religion". It's just a simple zoning ordinance. Really.

What's the point of porn stores anymore? Isn't that what the Internet is for?

I think it's a social thing. And really, that's as far as I want to explore that!

Apparently they believe that unpartnered males do not become horny before midnight?

As they say in Texas, "You can lope your mule if he comes up, but you can't call him up." Their problem is that these places put thoughts in people's heads (both of them).
