On closer inspection, it isn't even very clear why the law barring hunting on Sunday remains on the books except that we removed all the other Blue Laws piecemeal (usually as a result of business pressure) and have now logically gotten around to this one. I say logically because there can be no basis in civil liberty for its continuance. And furthermore, there is no question that hunting, as a recreational pastime, is as reasonable as the Sunday drive or boating or hiking or cutting wood or any of the other individual pursuits of men and women everywhere.

Talondale,
You paint a really surreal picture of what life was like before. I would argue that things were just smaller then. Less information was available about what was going on. I think you can still find places like that where there is little to no economy. So if you feel that society is failed seek small towns where there are few jobs and a two page paper.

Guys, I really cant sign this petition. Sunday if for church and family time and relaxing. I love to hunt just like the rest of you, but we can give the animals a break for oneday and show our love for the Lord.

RobVT3: I signed it but, be aware that most legal petitions require the signee to be a registered voter in the state for which the petition is submitted. I doubt that this unsigned internet document will be useful other than to the extent that it will show general support.
