The "need" of anti-alcohol zealots to impose their moral standards on everyone else under threat of State punishment has been accomodated in the continuance of the Blue Laws, hasn't it?

Read the Dawg's original post again. It's about NEW laws under consideration.

Okay all - here's my rub with what our local govt is attempting to do:

The Sunday sales idea was put on a referendum a few years ago and soundly defeated. It was put on again in 2004 and once again defeated (though a closer vote). Now the hospitality industry wants it on there AGAIN. My beef with it is this: Having been voted "no" twice, why are we doing it again and again and again? When is the answer definitive?

I AM also trying to reconcile everything with my beliefs as a Christian to honor the Sabbath. I have come to the conclusion that whatever the law, I am ultimately responsible for my choices on any day of the week.

That being said, I'm still against putting it on the ballot yet again when the issue has been asked and answered.
