My thought is as a businessman I don't think it makes sense to do one in a small market like a Staunton. I don’t care if it opens or it doesn’t.

Otherwise, just let it be. Fearless Ray Robertson, Peoples Attorney, will fuster and bluster enough for all of us.

It will be because porn shops are an anachronism in today's society. Much like daily newspapers. They're quaint, nothing more.

That's like some of my more irritating colleagues on the political left telling me I do not need high capacity magazines for my semiautomatic rifle. It's not about what I "need." It's about my RIGHTS. And as to the First Amendment: what type of speech would need protecting that is not offensive to some? Don't like the porn shop? Don't go in there. Don't build it next to an elementary school or a residential district, hang a "No Minors" sogn on the door, and if somebody, after those reasonable restrictions, has a problem with it...well, then they have a problem. And I bet I can guess what it is. Probably the same type of problem that led Idaho's larry Craig to be a rabid anti-gay activist. It's called, "projecting." There’s that, “why do you need it” again.
