Sunday shopping does not force anyone to work on Sunday who doesn't want to work on Sunday. The law prohibiting Sunday shopping discriminates on the basis of religion and that is why it should be eliminated. It also violates what should be my individual right to work and earn a living in anyway I see fit (as long as it doesn't interfere with the rights of others). A store opening on Sunday does not interfere with the rights of anyone else. -- Gerald Olchowy Chemical Physics Theory Group, Department of Chemistry University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario M5S 1A1
