I love the name calling. Pinheads? Classy.

I know I would get banned for that.

It is probably time for Texas to rethink casino gambling as well. Have you crossed the Texas broader recently to the north or east? Big casinos not 5 miles from the Texas state line.

.. and we are back. Please resume your name calling.

Blue star for doubledog. I am all for making this town as much like Vegas as possible, in every respect.

Plan ahead. It's not that hard.

Do you also try to go to the doctor on Saturday and the bank on Sunday and complain when they are closed?


End of thread.

I'd like to see some of those old Texas blue laws brought back. More people would stay home with their families on Sunday.


While probably true, you can't really think that it's the government's job to mandate family values, can you?

If you need laws to make you spend time with your family, then you don't really have family values anyways.

That said, laws like this are not going to change unless enough people get involved and demand they change...however, alcohol has a special stigma attached to it. People feel like if they become activists for a cause involving increasing freedoms involving alcohol, they'll be judged as if they are alcoholics.

Absolutely not. We should not want to infringe on the State of Texas' ggambling monopoly brought to you graciously at your favorite corner foodmart.

Most Blue laws date way before Texas was a state.
95% were done away with in 1985 as Texas flexed its independent minded muscle.

I think I can put up with not buying liquor from 2am to noon on Sunday if it keeps all the other blue laws off the books.

As to casinos, go to another state. Texas really doesn't need them. Yet!

No kidding! At least open up a satellite horse wagering place near by.

But it doesn't. Car dealerships can open either Saturday or Sunday but not both. Another idiotic law.

T&P for people who forget to stock their house with booze for the weekend.
