I shouldn't have commented on your blue-law posting, because I knew that it
would incite an off-topic tirade.  I am ignoring the other postings, but I
wanted to send a personal comment to you.  I admire your ability to think
rationally, but look at what you have done here.  If child pornography were
illegal in two counties but across the border in Missouri it were
permissible so that pornography dealers were able to make millions, would
you consider this a good reason to make child pornography universally legal?
The issue is whether the open sale of liquor is a socially good thing and
not whether some are able to make money on it because of inconsistencies in
the regulation of it.
