AFTER DARK VIDEO

There are some people in Wilson who are not displaying very good judgment in their reaction to the new adult video shop that will soon open where the Waterin' Hole was previously located. There is not a dern thing they can do about it and their efforts to run a business out of town before it even opens just make them appear like they are stuck in the Dark Ages. Wouldn't it be best to just Ignore it. No one has to frequent the store, although some may and have a right to do so if they wish.

I'm sure most people would have preferred a nice flower shop, ice cream parlor or barber shop, but that wasn't their choice to make. Someone could have bought the old filling station from the Wilson State Bank and started such a business, but they didn't. Instead, someone from outside the community is going to open a business that some find distasteful. That's the American way. We learn to live with our differences and move forward.

There is nothing illegal about anything they intend to do there and supposition that there is by some is only fanning the flames of the fire. No one knows how it will impact the town, but for some to pass judgment on the operation before it is even open seems supercilious at the least.

And, where are the individuals who started all this rumpus by passing out anonymous and misleading flyers going to step forward and take responsibility for their actions?
