DavidD,
I, too, am not happy about this situation. However, to win this battle we all need to be properly informed how this initially came about. In doing so you may find that it is not only the "democrats and socialists" who are to blame. In fact, if you did want to blame an entire group of people for this problem, you need only look to your nearest church as this is what's considered a "blue law." Kinda' like the one that used to be in place in Oklahoma where a person could not buy a car/truck on Sunday!
Now don't get me wrong, some of my best friends are good, church-going folk; I just don't like people impacting my life with their beliefs.
