What?

If you find inability to purchase alcohol on Sunday that onerous, I question your initial premise.

What do you say about the "balance" when the "balance" doesn't allow you to do something?

The "Blue Laws" were passed by "Good Christians" because you were not supposed to do "wrong" things on Sunday.

You could swing by the local store on your way home after Church to pick up a few things and go to the check out counter. The girl would start pulling stuff off the line with "you can't buy this on Sunday". Alcohol, nylons, makeup, green scrubbing pads, on and on and on.

And I'm talking the 70s here in NC. The "balance" at that time didn't allow me to do something just because it was Sunday.

If something is wrong then it is wrong every day of the week, not just Sunday. If things are closed because it is Sunday then they should be closed on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
