A blue law is a type of law that was originally designed to enforce a moral standard. Intriguing that a free country would use a law to force what should be a personal choice...
These laws are used most particularly to ensure the observance of Sundays as days of worship &/or rest.
This is despite the foresight of our founding fathers in ensuring a separation of church & state in that handy & increasingly altered & abused constitution.
Now most states have repealed or simply don't enforce these laws. The ones that do usually use them to prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in groceries & liquor stores on Sundays. I'm originally from Indiana where that is the law.
Now I live here in Chicago & don't worry about it.
I bought a bottle of wine tonight & that got me thinking... How do you define a separartion by embracing a law that is clearly in violation of that separation?

Nah... Not what I'm into... Though they do indeed, deserve love too.
It's the bar I'm off to this fine Saturday night. I've been keeping this dude waiting for my arrival, though I doubt he's really waiting that intently... Hehe.
I feel like being out & having some fun, & I know that responsibly... I should be a shut-in.
I'm just not good at it. The only thing that keeps me doing the 9-5 thing, I often fear, is that it occasionally allows me to enjoy the simple joys in life. Beer to drown the sorrows, darts to feel good at something, & boys to ogle... Wow! I am simple!
I truly can't function if I work, work, work, just so other people gain...
Damn these working man blues! Hehe
