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.
