	FLAME ON!

	You just admitted to having no justification for preventing
	Sunday openings, other than you can't see any reason that anyone
	would want to stay open.  Unfortunately for you, we happen to 
	live in a free society, and in such societies, it is the general
	rule that no action of any citizen should be prohibited unless
	there is an overwhelming compelling reason to do so.  If it is
	not advantageous for someone to open on Sunday, then LET THEM
	FIND THAT OUT FOR THEMSELVES!  It just might be the case that
	there are those who would disagree that there are no such
	advantages.

	Justificattion of laws using logic like you presented really
	scares me.  It can be used to justify just about anything.

	Hope you have a fire extinguisher.

	FLAME OFF!

	On the contrary, support your local merchant who has the 
	gumption to stand up for himself.
