Fitting

The reason we have government is to perform vital functions in society, crucial things that couldn't be done without the coercion of state power. Things like keeping liquor stores closed on Sunday:

This morning, at approximately 10:30, I was out doing my regular walk. My usual route takes me past a local liquor store. Today I watched a nun pull into the small parking lot next to the liquor store and walk up to the front door of the store only to find the store closed. Only after being unable to get in, did she notice the sign on the door stating that the store was closed until noon. She angrily looked at her watch and then, just as angrily, stomped back to her car.

Now, for all I know she was on an emergency mission to pick up some wine for the 11 and 12 o’clock masses. Then again, maybe she and the other sisters in the convent plan to fire up a movie today and kick back with a few brewskies. No problemo, as far as I'm concerned. It was, however, quite a visual.

Success!

At least it opened at noon. Can't even buy a six-pack on Sunday here.
