Ain't gonna happen in CT. And I just don't get it - one of the most
liberal states in the Union and at the same time one of the most uptight.

I not sure it's a moral issue. I was bitching about the liquor sales
hours to a Connecticut store owner. He made the point that most of the
owners prefer the 8pm and Sunday closings. As most of the liquor stores
are Mom&Pop type operations, it was easier to staff and allowed them time
off. This was several years ago, so things might have changed.

It's more than the "blue" laws - this is a very uptight state. I
think it has to do with some kind of odd Puritan "redemption" ethic.

With respect to the store closings - bull****. As Eisboch said - they
pretty much said the same thing in MA until the laws were repealed and
now....can't find one that isn't open. :)

Personally, I think it's a good time for Prohibition to reinstate
it'self.
