Cops in Ferguson, Missouri, broke up a home business in 2011. Now the homeowner has had her day in court and pleaded guilty—to running an underground brothel and strip club. Now, we may not like these activities, and they may be immoral, but in a free society what you do in your home is your own business. The power the government has to oversee what goes on in our homes is why some home schools and home churches have been shut down. To oppose the government shutting down these things but support the government shutting down the other is inconsistent.
