Liquor sales are available 6 days a week now. Having a 7th day would only encourage more drinking and more drinking related events such as domestic violence and drunken driving. Sunday is a day for God and family, not the liquor store. Most of the stuff I've read on liquor sales on Sunday only show that there not much revenue benefits for the store or the state. It sometimes costs more for the store to stay open due to utilities, payroll, etc than the store brings in. Some small stores cannot afford this and in some instances...Sunday is the only day off most of the employees have....why take that away or force the store to hire people it cannot afford.
(suddenly feeling the libertarian side of me percolating to the surface) How, exactly, do you square this with the concept of freedom?
"How, exactly, do you square this with the concept of freedom?"
The same way I square the laws on speed limits, drug usage, drunk driving laws, pornography laws, age limit laws on liquor purchases (applies to those between the ages of 18 and 21), etc.
As I said, people have freedom to buy liquor 6 days a week...I'm not against liquor....just liquor sales on Sundays.
