1. Were any Americans targeted?

Or was this just strong arm enforcment of local blue laws?

2. For God's sakke, don't let the Fundies see this...

They seem to have drawn the line at bombing Planned Parenthood clinics, next, they'll bee after an Appleby's near you because they serve suds on Sunday.

3. Much of the bible belt is dry on Sundays.

If they had their choice prohibition would be back.

4. That has been changing slowly. A long time Southerner here I can

attest that you can now even buy beer and wine in stores on Sunday and be served whatever you want in Restaurants in the vast majority of major population areas down here.

Money trumps beliefs in America.

6. I never really considered Indiana as part of the bible belt, but it makes

sense, now that you mention it. Is it the same in the larger population centers or is it mainly in the more rural areas?
