Thank you for your encouragement. A question was asked of me and I responded.
I didn't need to ramble on for pages and pages, as some people do. Your insult
("Just to show how little you think...") is quite the insulting remark,
though, and I ask that you please refrain from such remarks. They serve only
to irritate.

 R> impracticle (sic) and unfair. 
 R> Why should Sunday be sacred?  Just because the catholic church says so?  
 R> What about those who Sacred day is Saturday?  What about those whose

 R> days is Friday?  Stop being a bigot, open your eyes.

My idea is neither impractical nor unfair. Why *should* Sunday be sacred? It
should be set aside as a family day so that mother, father, and children can
enjoy a day *together*. In this day and age where the divorce rate is high,
where there is apparently a lot of pressure on children, a day set aside to
relax and discuss the previous week's activities is, IMO, needed. Nowhere have
I mentioned the Roman Catholic Church (would it surprise you if I said I
wasn't Roman Catholic?). So why mention it? In this society where the
majority, I believe, are christian (if it identifies with anything at all),
Sunday is the logical choice. Friday is a business day. Saturday is already a
semi-business day. Why disrupt it? In any case, these are my ideas. If all you
can do is shoot them down *without* any constructive remarks, what is the
point?

Why are you calling me a bigot? Nowhere have I rigidly said it is 'my way, or
no way at all'. I have merely been thowing ideas out into the open. If you
don't like them, well tough. I will not cease expressing my opinions for your
mere benefit. Your accusation (that I am a bigot) is unfounded. Please don't
call me something I am not.

Regards,

Ken Quinn
