... The law's main targets in 1998 were the strip clubs popping up just outside cities and towns across Madison County. According to Times news archives, the toy ban was an add-on.

Controlling strip clubs and X-rated theaters had wide support then and still does. Although some people enjoy these establishments, I understand, most people think that they're bad news and magnets for trouble.

It's the sex toy ban that seems odd today. Here's why.

In all the years since the law was passed, the only time Huntsville's few sex shops made news was when a court ruled in the ongoing battle over the law. The rest of the time, the shops do their business and no one seems to care. You go there if you want their products; you don't if you don't ...

2. Well damn, someone that finally understands... If you don't like...

what they are showing... turn the channel, turn it off, but don't take it away from those that might not want to do any of those things.... "This is what the Constitution awards it's citizens" Freedom of speech, and Liberty... If you don't like it, police your children, turn off the contraption, and install software that prevents your child from accessing what is not appropriate for them... You are the parent, not the state... so... "DO YOUR FUCKING JOB" and don't expect someone else to do it for you in the name of the state..... once again... "DO YOUR FUCKING JOB" If you don't want to do your job, I'm certain that there are perverts, killers out there that will assume your responsibilities for you, but you probably won't be very happy with the outcome...

Four-dimensional toys are still kosher.
