Of course it's about money!! Duh!!

I support the sale of alcohol on Sunday, but of course it's about money.

The bottom line is that the government should stop trying to legislate morality, period regardless if there is tax revenue involved.

Everything that's legal should be available everyday, otherwise it shouldn't be legal.

What is the logic behind it not being legal to sell alcohol on Sundays anyway?

I've been drinking all my life... what is so important about drinking alcohol on Sunday ? I think it is all about money. Is selling alcohol the best industry for Tupelo? I think we have a lot more and important issues to be concerned with than selling booze on Sunday! Wake up and sober up Tupelo !
