For what it is worth it is separation of church and state. No where does it say separation of church FROM the state. There is a distinct difference.

I am so glad there were no political laws of this nature when Jesus drank wine.
He would have to wait right?

Separation of church and state?

Daylight saving time….enter the politician….same story.

Blue laws are stupid. Prohibition is stupid. Restricting our right to do what we want and when we want legally is also stupid. Get it out of here.

The kind of people that don’t see the problem with this ban are actually making America not so great, which is highly ironic for obvious reasons. – Guy Gerricault.

So all of these people saying “just buy it Saturday”, what is the difference between someone buying it Saturday night or Sunday morning? How is it going to affect you if someone that works overnight had a bad shift and wants to grab a beer on the ride home? As far as the “its going to create more alcoholics”, if someone is going to be an alcoholic they are going to be an alcoholic. If anything by your logic having it inaccessible until Sunday afternoon is creating more of an issue as they are having to buy a larger quantity. Let these businesses make their money and open the sales

@nod – sheeple (according to Merriam-Webster) are people who are docile, compliant, or easily influenced.
I do not care if someone agrees with me or not. I think everyone should make their own decisions and be held accountable for their actions based on those decisions. “Big Brother” is too far up in our business already. It is sad that common sense is no longer “common”.

I say if you want the blue laws to stand because it’s the sabbath than I think we need to take all religions into consideration. The Muslim Holy day starts Friday noon so all liquor sales should stop at noon Friday. The Jewish Shabbat starts Friday at sunset so the sales ban continues into Saturday where the Seventh-day folks take it to sunset. I guess it’s fair to sell liquor from Saturday sunset to 2:30am. And don’t forget the LDS who think ALL shopping should be prohibited on Sundays so that takes us to Sunday Midnight.
So we close the liquor sales down from Friday noon until Sunday midnight with a possible window Saturday night.

Fair is fair after all. Right?

24×7 sales everywhere in the county is less hassle to regulate, remember, work around – and fairer to various licensed establishments. Further since those who want to drink, and drive, will – it reduces the miles they travel and thus directly reduces risk to others. Blue laws don’t work.

Remind me what going to church and the law have to do with eachother or did I read a different version of the constitution that removed the ‘separation of church and state’ clause? Plus, not everyone gives a rat’s patoot about going to church or your feelings regarding it. Don’t like it? Don’t buy any.

Wow, I cannot believe that so many people drink up all of their booze on Saturday. I don’t drink booze, but I make sure I have plenty of soda to make it through Sundays.
