Why So Blue?

So many of us buy alcohol… some in larger quantities than others.  Recently, the state of Colorado got this brilliant idea of abolishing their blue laws!  What is this “blue law” you speak of? You ask… Well, it is a dumb prohibition-era law that says you can’t buy alcohol on Sunday.  According to this CNN article, 15 states still have enacted blue laws – including my own (South Carolina).  This barbaric excuse for religious exploitation hurts businesses and the economy.  Since people typically have Sunday OFF, they will often use that day to buy food for the week.  Unfortunately, our government representatives pull a responsibility card and tell us we should make our alcohol purchases in advance (which still doesn’t directly answer the question of why we have the law in the first place).  Jerks.

I am not angry because I just looooove buying alcohol on Sundays.  I am angry out of principle.  First of all, I would like to stay out past midnight on Saturdays.  Second, it is a law based on religious beliefs (let’s not kid ourselves) – not that I am not religious, but there is a seperation between church and state… hurr. Finally, allowing the sales on Sunday could boost the economy.  That is what I think.  Do you think it is worthwhile to even discuss?
