loved the blue laws. I think they helped make life more civil. I cried when large stores opened on Sundays. It changed the entire tenor of the state.

Exactly. And to imagine that people are willing to throw it away out of greed.

What one man sees as greed, another man sees as impededing on his right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It's about personal responsibility and government control. Yes, in the grand scope of things (compared to say Socailized Medicine for all) it may not be a big deal, but to me it is a socialist mentality and serves no purpose other than the government trying to "help" those that can't help themselves.

No one has to go. I seldom shop on a Sunday; I prefer it as a quiet day. And we certainly keep a good wine cellar and bar, so having to suddenly buy supplies never enters the equation.

.....and so our commandment "Keep holy the Sabbath Day" has already been breached and is a commonly accepted practice almost everywhere. Therefore I see nothing odd about selling alcoholic beverages on Sunday.
