[Carl E. Anderson]

> I don't know the source of the name, but Blue Laws are/were common in the
> Bible Belt states dominated by Baptists. I believe they are a direct result
> of Baptists frowning upon frivolousness in general and particularily on
> Sundays. No drinkin' and no dancin' allowed !

        You're neglecting the influence of the Puritans in Massachusetts!

Cheers,
Carl
