Missouri bill would keep stores closed on Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter
Remember when we had blue law`s. Wal-mart opened on sunday and everyone else followed.That was the start of big bussiness wanting it all.Closing on holidays and Sunday is what good church people use to do till greed of money set in.
What a waste of time...pathetic. Why don't we close gas stations and movie theaters as well? Don't those employees deserve a holiday? This is "busy work" so the legislators don't have to do any REAL work.

ReplyDeleteNo problem, when I want to buy booze on Christmas, I can always go to Oklahoma, or Arkansas, or Kansas.
