Even Massachusetts has repealed its alcohol-related Blue Laws.

So now if you suddenly decide to invite some friends over for dinner on a Sunday evening, you can get wine, beer and liquor.

It's really a lot better. Plus it means people don't have to go to a bar to have a drink on a Sunday, which means theydon't have to drive.

Blue Laws were always only kept by the unconnected anyway. On Cape Cod, years ago when these laws were still in effect, one went to a certain variety store in Hyannis to get beer on Sunday and to a pharmacy in Harwich for that bottle of "medicinal" Jack Daniels.

If one craved company on a Sunday when the bars didn't open until noon, one went to a certain Leaning Tower of Pizza on Rt. 28 in West Yarmouth where the back door was always open to early worshippers.

Even Massachusetts has repealed its alcohol-related Blue Laws.

Even Massachusetts?

I would expect the most liberal (read: anti-Christian) state in the Union, with Ted Kennedy (Hic!) as its senior senator to be the first state to do so.
