Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Ok I have to vent...has to be done!! Last week here at the station we had an idea to have Rocky Horror Picture Show do a midnight showing at the local theatre...well the owener nixed saying he tried that idea a few years back and a lot of townspeople were offended...called it evil and soft porn??? PLEASE!! Ok the town I live in about 20 miles from the station is a little smaller and now they are back in the dark ages also. A new store opened in downtown and it is a couple from California and they are selling beads, tye-dyed clothes, vintage hippie clothes, candles, hand made jewelry, stuff like that...well a high school girl and her friends went in and she got spooked...she said it was scary and seemed devilish??? So now local ministers are trying to shut it down!! I went in, and I saw nothing to do with the devil or anything along those lines. It is 2005 and small towns need to realize that, please. Ok I feel somewhat better!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Is there a large stake in the middle of town that may be a little, oh I dont know, maybe charred? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 I wonder...I love my small town...feel safe and good for kids...but this is too much!! I guess because they aren't the "typical" middle class they are different. I so want to protest this, and if things go farther, believe me I will be there defending these nice people and their store!

Uncle Joe Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Have they burned any books there lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 No...and this really has me fired up as you can tell. My hometown has never acted like this, and all it takes is those people who believe they are better than everyone else to stir things up. Well wait until they mess with Sweet Jane!!

Ken Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Which would you prefer? Small town thinking, a bit dated, perhaps, or a school where the kids have to walk through metal detectors to go to class and where people would step over your body if you dropped dead? Tit for tat I guess. I'd take the small town everytime. Same thing here... A small restaurant opened here locally, a girl I went to high school with, Brenda Fox. Called the restaurant / cafe "For Fox Sake". Everyone went insane. But the kids are safe in school and on the way home. You get what you get. Ken.

Sweet Jane 61 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Never said I didn't want my smalltown life...I love it but people need to not be so judgemental. If it is something causing harm to someone then yes protest it, but someone's store, cafe, whatever it might be...check it out before you judge it, you may like what you find.
