Your problem is with equating alcoholic beverages with groceries. They are not the same.

I don't really care if they sell it all day or not. I just don't feel the laws need to be changed. There are many things I'd feel are more important, like reversing Roe v Wade.

GA Dawg, why did you stir the pot and back off? Which side of this fence are you on?

I think it was pretty cool of the GA Dawg. He probably hoped something like this would happen, and is sitting back, chuckling. I know I would if I had thought of this. Good way to pass a boring thurs afternoon.

Yes, I am. They are the same.

They appear on the same shopping list to be purchased at the same store.

The beer is right down the line of coolers between the frozen pizzas and the trendy cooler-drinks.

That's where you're wrong. Groceries being purchased on Sunday can be equated with ANY legal item offered for sale on a Sunday, such as food, sporting goods, tobbacco, Alcohol, even, if the person was so inclined, 'nudie mags'. As long as it's a legal item being sold, it shouldn't be treated any differently from any other, except for any age restrictions which may apply. If someone has religious beliefs that determine what he or she is allowed to buy, fine, just keep your religious prohibitions out of the lives of those who don't believe.

I didn't stir the pot and back off....I'm just trying to work my way through this. I oppose Sunday sales, but not government mandated. I will just choose not to buy if the Sunday sales law is voted in. Like I said, the Chick Fil A model works the best...Not open on Sunday, but not government mandated.

Our city is promoting Sunday sales as an "economic boost" because we supposedly lose revenue to neighboring counties. That is a silly argument. We are about 30,000 population wise and the "neighboring county" they refer to is about 250,000 with more tourist attractions.
