So even though I don't need the Blue laws to spend a Sunday this way, I think returning to them would help other families discover how restful and refreshing long lazy Sundays can be. Sheesh. Nobody is making anyone go to the mall on Sunday. They can choose to be lazy with their families if they want and if they have that luxury. How could you possibly be so arrogant as to make that choice for them. And do you not know that half of us have no families? And that some of us have Friday and Saturday sabbaths? Sorry, I'm willing to cut you some slack on the religious questions but this is just plain busybody meddling.

Again, I am sort of bemused by this! Whether businesses shut down or not, people can choose to stay home. People don't HAVE to work on Sundays. You didn't HAVE to do laundry. Did you really need someone to tell you that? And fine, if you did, but don't close the stores to everyone just because you needed your church to tell you this So even though I don't need the Blue laws to spend a Sunday this way, I think returning to them would help other families discover Oh,Kate, surely you see the problem with this view!!! Who are you, or anyone, to force families into certain behaviors you happen to think are best? I have enormous respect for the Mormon family principles. We saw the value in the Mormon Family Night and instituted it in our own non-Mormon home, not for religious reasons, but because it so obviously made sense for the good of the family. But we chose it.
