"Source" for the blue laws?

The source was good ol' southern Christians who wanted all others to do the right thing on Sunday.

Man, you could put the T in Taliban Christians. "My way or the highway". Keep posting, you keep making my point.

Do you understand what a source is?

As it stands, you are commenting out of simple secular bigotry. We had blue laws in Pennsylvania, still have some of them in fact...hardly a bastion of good ol' southern Christians.

We've got a new "blue law" in Illinois. You can't buy a car on Sunday. The source? Car dealers who found that working 7 days a week led to divorce. They want to have a day off too. The only way to take a day off was to force the competition to take a day off too.

The same number of cars get sold, and the salesmen and their wives are happier that the cars get sold in 6 days instead of 7.

Nah, I just can't stand little girls screeching about how their parents are just like the Nazis.
