Let the town block certain types of businesses (or someone will say that you can't block pornography stores in your town -- freedom of speech). Let the town block the sale of puppies (or someone will say that you can't block the sale of heroin in your town -- it's the user's body). And so on.<br /><br />The point isn't that these people <i>shouldn't</i> prevent the sale of pets. We agree there. The point is that people in a town should be able to make rules for itself.Jake Freivaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523638337057738776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-87614695549808879022010-02-19T07:05:18.739-05:002010-02-19T07:05:18.739-05:00In reality, it's all just empty statements and...In reality, it's all just empty statements and posturing, lefties love making empty, worthless statements that make them feel all warm and fuzzy.MathewKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14385674205383405783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-56462263709245205982010-02-18T23:24:05.008-05:002010-02-18T23:24:05.008-05:00Whoa they sell Cats and Dogs in CA!

I am all for local gov't on a logical level that does not penalize small businesses like this one would do.<br /><br />Oh, I forgot, silly me. The asshat Obama and his porkulus plan has created two million jobs and "many of those were in the private sector." I am sure that will help out all those small business owners in Weirdywood, Falicornia.<br /><br />This is what happnes when libtards, commie socilaists and so called progressives stay in power too long.PatriotUSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171721694866847529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388559448711486521.post-73510177109043624102010-02-18T10:45:01.261-05:002010-02-18T10:45:01.261-05:00You got that right Fred, CA is going under without...You got that right Fred, CA is going under without slipping off into the Pacific--their debt is sinking them.

City councils and such local governmental groups should not be able to tell small businesses what they can and cannot do, what they can and cannot sell as long as the service they provide or the item they sale does not interfer with the general welfare of the community---many of these local groups have over-reached to the point on intrusion on our personal liberties and rights. <br /><br />I do understand where you are coming from on this local control issue and I certain believe in that, but not at the expense of common sense and personal liberties.

Local people should have local control, even if they make dumb choices -- even <i>because</i> they make dumb choices.<br /><br />The principle here should be "subsidiarity", which, speaking very roughly, means that the larger the scope of government, the less control it has; and that control comes from the bottom up, rather than from the top down.<br /><br />Support the right of these people have their enclave of crazy -- and fight like hell to prevent them from imposing it on the rest of us.<br /><br />Regards,<br />JakeJake Freivaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523638337057738776noreply@blogger.com
