Is it time we aggressively boycott Green Shingles? Who in the Town of Lindley needs strippers? Will the silent majority rally to end this "entertainment"?

I MYSELF AM AGAINST THE TOWN OF LINDLEY (GREEN SHINGLES) HAVING STRIPPERS.THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A TOWN OF MORALITY.THERE WILL ALSO BE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC AS WELL AS TRUCKERS(ONCE THEY FIND OUT).WITH THE ACCIDENTS THAT ARE ON 15 THIS WILL NOT HELP MATTERS.I CAN SEE THIS IN A CITY BUT NOT IN A LITTLE TOWN,TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.WHO KNOWS, SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD ALSO BRING OUT THE PERVERTS.I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE I FOR ONE WILL BE THERE IF A BOYCOTT COMES ABOUT.
