In North Carolina, there is a blue law that restricts the sale of all alcohol until noon on Sundays. I'm sure there are many other states that have similar laws, and maybe even some states, or at least counties or towns, that ban alcohol sale for the entire day. Really the only reason for laws such as these is because of the Christian dogma they were inspired by. I've worked at a grocery store and I would see dozens of refused sales on Sundays, especially during football season, and many of the people who were trying to buy them had just gotten out of church. So who exactly do these laws benefit? Does a kitten explode every time you buy drinks before noon on Sunday? The only benefit I can see is to those people who would obey regardless if there was a law or not. If someone can think of any good reason, please by all means enlighten me. It just seems that these laws are unjust and maybe even borderline unconstitutional. This rant can apply to other laws too, its just this one is the most prevalent of its kind from what I've seen.
