It used to be illegal here in the States too, within my lifetime. We had Blue Laws. And I think such comparisons are valid because it highlights a huge hole in the vision of American leadership -- both political and corporate.
- mattdeboard 15y agoHad? That's cute. Come to Indiana. Liquor stores aren't open on Sundays here as it's illegal for then to sell alcohol on the sabbath. Why the fuck did I move back.
- dantheman 15y agoLiquor stores often fight laws allowing sales on sundays. When the stores are closed on sundays everyone just purchases what they need during the rest of the week. So they don't lose sales & have reduced costs - no staff on sunday. In MA they did their best to stop it, but luckily people voted for freedom :P
- reemrevnivek 15y agoThe Sabbath is on Saturday; ask any Jew or Seventh-day Adventist. Most Christians observe a day of rest on Sunday.
