I promise I mean no insult to reed_4 by this... but I do worry about people like this - alot. It is precisely this line of ignorant thinking that has us where we are today. People write these guys off as people who will be unable to inflict any real damage if elected and they don?t recognize them for the threat that they are until its very late in the game.
South Bend is a very conservative area. Its three adult bookstores have been under constant assault. A group of well-connected do-gooders have formed a coalition there called "Citizens for Community Values". They have succeeded in having the stores raided on multiple occasions and passing ludicrous ordinances. They also managed to use ($300K?) in public money to buy two or three strip clubs and close them down.
Most of the community is behind them and they are well on their way to making South Bend a city with no adult bookstores or strip clubs. The fact that one can go a few towns over and buy all the sleaze they can afford is not the point, a threat to freedom anywhere is a threat to freedom anywhere. This Zirkle jackass is no dummy. He knows that South Bend is a great place to start building support for a ludicrous plan like this. Once he gets the ball rolling, other cities will be trying stupid shit like this.
All one has to do is look at Bush to see just how much damage one moron with a few stupid ideas can cause. So contrary to the advice of some, we should worry about this guy and the potential his stupidity has to cause great harm for all of us.
A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction. The adult industry needs more regulation and government meddling like it needs a hole in the head.
