As for having it pretty good, I guess I do. I'm healthy, have a roof over my head and a family I love. How 'bout them apples! cb — While I agree with you when it comes to government not telling businesses how to operate, I also miss the days when Americans were less focused on material goods and immediate gratification.

If the worst thing bothering you is missing something at the grocery store on Sunday, then you have it pretty good. Bad laws can't legislate good behavior; government doesn't belong telling business how to operate outside of fraud prevention. If nobody goes to the store on Sunday, it probably won't bother opening on Sunday. On the other hand, emergencies happen: that's when shops open on strange days or 24 hours a day can save time, money, and pain. I disagree.
