. First, I have heard that it isn't legal for merchants to sell alcohol

. Tennessee where I used to live.  I mean that place is the buckle of
. the bible belt for christ sake!

But you can buy a shotgun at KMart on Sunday, or any other day of the week.

. Second, I have not yet seen a grocery store that has hard liquor
. in it's isles.  Sure, there is beer and wine, but no bottles of rum,
. vodka, bourbon etc..  This also, is something I have only noticed in
. Georgia.  Since I haven't traveled much out of Atlanta, I can't speak
. for the whole state, but I would guess it to be true everywhere.

Blue laws. We all lak ouah state to be clean!

. Any explanations for these WEIRD practices?

Any state that would elect Zell Miller governor would do anything.
