	Do you know what is the worst part of your entire argument?  You 
are pushing this to prevent Sunday shopping, but you are forgetting ONE very
important fact.... the majority of people do NOT work Monday to Friday 9-5. 
So by stopping Sunday shopping you do NOT help anything at all, you simply
continue to foster stupid restraints.  The government, and you, have NO
business telling us when we can shop, when we should be with our familes.

	If you really believe that people are spending quality time with
their families because they are forced to be off on Sunday you are sadly 
mistaken.  Because children spend their week days at school, weekends is 
when they get to spend with their friends.  It makes NO difference which days
the parents have off, the only reason Sunday was sacred was to do with the
Catholic church, which had TOOO much influence, still does.
