I think most people would agree that at least certain people 
should work on Sunday- eg. bus drivers, metro operators, gas stations,
local small food store. We need to have transportation to get
places (case in point- even those visiting family), gas is needed
if we take the car, and people shouldn't have to be inconvenienced
if they need some food items. The answer to the above argument is
simply to let those people who really don't care about it, let
them work Sunday if they choose to. The others work on other
days of the week. Of course, nobody should be -forced- to work
on Sunday.
