Grew up in Kansas City area in an era when we had blue laws. Everything was closed except for churches, hospitals and emergency city services. Everyone I knew went to church and Sunday school in the morning, then home for a family dinner and a nap and then back to church for training union and Sunday evening services.

We all did fine. Would make me very happy to see blue laws return everywhere and IMO the U.S. would be much better off morally.

Agreed.There are 168 hours in a week...after subtracting 24 of them Americans will *still* have plenty of time to buy the things they need or want.

I remember the Blue Laws..( was this just a Southern thing)

Nope...I grew up in Massachusetts and just about everything was shut tight on Sundays.

Wonder how many folks would feel about giving up their precious NFL Football on Sundays?
