I know I’m supposed to plan ahead, but am I the only person who waits until Sunday morning to decide what to cook for a nice Sunday dinner? Fairly often, the recipe I want to cook calls for wine and so I’m out of luck. I find it really frustrating.

Having worked in the beverage industry for many years a life time ago, my impression is that the State of Georgia clings to these laws more as a way to continue its iron grip on the industry overall – not so much from the proclaimed concerns about community morality or public health. I don’t think anyone can argue credibly that the “blue laws” have any measurable impact on alcoholism, drunk driving, etc. I think this issue has simply become an opportunity for soap-boxing for both sides of the issue.

Eventually, it will be left up to localities as it should be. Liberty has a way of dogging issues like this. I’m with Nick on this one – moving on here. The only lingering concern I have is that somehow this ritual argument about Sunday sales distracts from substantive efforts to help individuals and families who suffer from the hell of alcohol abuse 7 days a week – often at the price of someone’s life.

Ha! Thanks Bryan…though the way you phrased your request, it kinda sounds like my weird word offended you.

Not sure how “fails” got an extra “es”.
