Buying morality

I heard about Ave Maria, the Florida town that former Dominos Pizza owner Thomas S. Monaghan is financing, some time ago, but haven't seen much about it since. CNN now has a story which reveals more details about the plan, which always worried me somewhat:

During a speech last year at a Catholic men's gathering in Boston, Monaghan said that in his community, stores will not sell pornographic magazines, pharmacies will not carry condoms or birth control pills, and cable television will have no X-rated channels.

Homebuyers in Ave Maria will own their property outright. But Monaghan and Barron Collier will control all commercial real estate in the town, meaning they could insert provisions in leases to restrict the sale of certain items.

The next stage of the encroaching theocracy is apparently corporate ownership. Why spend money fighting abortion in the courts when you can just buy whole towns and ban it?
