I see that Sunday alcohol sales has come back up in the news lately. This time it's because some minor league baseball team is in Gwinett county, and they want to allow sales of alcohol at the stadium on Sundays. For those of you who don't know, Georgia doesn't allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays; unless you go to a restaurant. I can go buy cigarettes, lottery tickets and stop off at the adult video/bookstore on Sunday, but no purchasing of wine or beer. It's a religious thing. For some reason there's this whole mixture of church and state down here. It's a stupid law, especially in modern day USA where you have people who either don't believe in God and religion, like myself, or you have people of religions that have the holy day on a day other than Sunday. People down here want to allow each county to vote on it, but our Governor, Sonny Purdue, won't allow it. This is the same idiot that held a prayer service for rain because of the major drought we are having in the South. Of course they scheduled the prayer service for a day where rain was in the forecast, so it looks like prayer actually does something. If prayer were real the rain would have formed over the south, and not come down in the traditional storm front that moves down from the north, but you can't talk to these people. Anytime the discussion of alcohol sales on Sunday comes up the bible thumpers say it's all about time management. I should just buy enough wine or beer before Sunday so I'll have some around. I never had to deal with this growing up, because even in the south you can purchase alcohol on Sundays on a military base. I doubt we will ever get a chance to vote on it, but it would be interesting to see what happens if we could. I would think it's more money for the state, seeing as they're giving up an entire days worth of sales tax on those sales. People who live on the border of other states head over there on Sundays, giving their money to that state.
