	I thought the original intention of the separation of church
and state was to minimize religious interference in government ! That's
quite a different thing than what's stated above.

	I would NOT support a law to ban liquor sales at any time. In
fact, I object to all forms of "blue laws". Anyone who has something
they want to sell should be allowed to do so regardless of which religious
sect's weekly holiday it is.
