"A handful of state legislatures have declared it's closing time for Sunday alcohol sales restrictions, saying an extra day of sales could give their foundering budgets a much-needed shot of revenue. Those states - Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Alabama and Minnesota - enjoy overwhelming voter support for an extra day of sales, but face opposition from members of the Christian right, who say that selling on Sunday undermines safety and tears apart families. "During times of economic stress, our families are under enough pressure," says Jim Beck, the president of the Georgia Christian Coalition. "I don't think we need to add even more pressure to those families by passing this law."

Why is it that evryone in my state, and others, has to sit around on Sunday not able to go buy some beers to watch the game with due to a few Religius people who feel they need to prevent it, to save the family or based on some bible verse? I am lucky, I live near the border, so if I need drinks on Sunday, I have just drove to WI to get them, but why should I have to? Can I by booze the night before and drink on Sunday,sure but I work late so I am not always able to do that before they close on Sat...nor should I have to.
I dont go to church, or follow your Religion. I dont work the normal mon- fri job. And I dont work your normal 9-5..( try 10-9 or later ) So why must I fit there family values...its time to end these dumb Sunday laws.
Also in related news, to Bunz post about Dry, damp, wet cities....Dry and Damp cities should burn the the ground...they are pure evil.
