They also should keep all government offices open 7 days a week with employees receiving rolling days off. The separation of church and state would allow those who work to be able to conduct their business with the government without having to take off from work. I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth from here. LOL

Excellent! This just keeps getting better and better. Perhaps you are not old enough to remember when retail stores would all be closed on Sundays (old Blue Laws). Then someone started the ball rolling by staying open on Sundays. I was at an age where I just thought it was cool to be able to shop on Sundays. I remember my Grandmother, a deeply devout Lutheran would not step foot in a store on the Sabbath. It was a personal choice for her, but she did feel that it was fair as not all Americans are Christians. Now I think it is time to get really, really "fair" and declare that religious holidays should not be federal holidays. Also retail stores should not be allowed to sell CHRISTMAS ITEMS as we wouldn't want to offend ANYONE! If this were to happen the ACLU would be run out of town on a rail by retailers who would lose an enormous amount of money each year.

...and let us not forget keeping the government schools open as well during the 'holiday' season...as these fine instituions are producing some of the most entertaining examples of this idiocy...I'd pay a lot to see the look on a teacher relative's face when told she has to work on the former holidays...
