Dance if you want to: Myrtle Beach must stop regulating morality

First they outlawed strip clubs. Now they want to outlaw a small shop like Badd Kitty that sells things they don't like. Next maybe they will outlaw Hooters or bikinis on the beach.

The police are sitting in front of computers trolling the internet for prostitution instead of chasing dangerous criminals. Stop trying to regulate morality. I can choose to not frequent places that offend me. I don't need pompous politicians deciding for me.
