I doubt it did either, but that's not what I am asking. I could care less
(but not very much less...) about what the politicians were thinking.
My question is, do you *personally* think it's a good idea to have a law
that restricts when stores can be open, or one that allows large stores less
freedom than small ones, or that restricts what sorts of things can be sold
on what days of the week or times of the day?
