It’s even stranger, because they don’t outlaw the transaction in general, they outlaw it on only one day of the week. It gets absurd, then, when they try to couch their desire to enforce morality in any terms other than religion. Sonny is no different. “Think of it this way…It really helps you plan ahead for the rest of your life — buying on Saturday, rather than Sunday. Time management.” [...]
