Hooters

opponents should try different approach, like Jesus

Judging from the

comments on the recent zoning hearing, the majority of

residents of Fayette County are opposed to the locating

of a Hooters in Fayetteville. Not!

Let's face it, Hooters has

done their market research and have concluded that a

restaurant in Fayetteville would have enough business to

turn a nice profit. My guess is that the number of

patrons in the first day alone will dwarf the number that

attended the zoning hearing in opposition.

However, all hope is not

lost for the opponents. You do have one way to stop the

Hooters juggernaut: convince your fellow citizens to

simply not patronize the establishment. It will force

them out of business and in the future other similar

business will think twice about locating in Fayette

County.

Instead of trying to use

the power of government to force your views on the rest

of the county and further erode our right of self

determination, use that moral authority to strengthen our

own ability to exercise that right in a moral and mature

manner.

A victory at the zoning

board will be temporary while a victory in changing the

views of the citizens of the country will be lasting.

Jesus did not force anyone

to follow him; he simply asked and provided the teaching.

The Christians of this county need to follow his example.
