The full page ads in the Feb. 18 and Feb. 26 editions of the MDJ begging for a “yes” vote for Sunday sales of booze in Cobb County must have cost a few drinks of rot-gut booze.
My question is why didn’t the boozers who paid for the costly ads identify themselves? In contrast to the large-printed multi-colored full page ads was hidden in small print, “Paid for by RSSI.”
Who is the RSSI? Are they some clandestine organization afraid to identify themselves to the people from whom they are seeking votes?
Why are they ashamed to identify themselves? I sure would like to know who they are so that I and my friends can boycott their businesses in Cobb County.
Haven’t these people done enough to damage a good place to live with booze sales six days a week?
Do they even know what the Ten Commandments are — especially the fourth one?
Send these boozers back into their bottles on Sundays. Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy!

In fact, should we so much as find someone working on the Sabbath, the Lord says we should stone them to death. How about that for your objective morality!
Seriously, grow up people.
Seems quite clear to me, so why don't you illuminate the rest of us on what the Lord really meant when he said, "The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp."
Chuck and Dorcas, I would be interested to know how old you are and in which church your old-fashioned ideas were formulated, or if it was a church at all. No disrespect. You have a point about the advertisers identifying themselves. But you must know how intolerant you sound to those of us who do enjoy an adult beverage.
Here's a news flash for you, the police ARE the government. Do you understand standard English?
Do you even know how much tax is made from the sell of alcoholic beverages?
And why should Cobb County miss out on their percentage when every city in Cobb has approved sunday sales????
Not everyone believes in the same thing you believe in. Sunday sales doesn't affect you in the least bit. Sunday sales is already legal in Smyrna and, as far as I know, the world has not ended and everything is just fine. I was a strong proponent for Sunday sales in Smyrna, voted for it, and guess what, I have yet to buy alcohol on a Sunday. But I have the option to if I want to. That's all this is.
If you want to keep your sabbath holy, then do so. Why would you care what other people do with their day? If I want to buy a 6 pack on Sunday why would that bother you?
Someone already brought up jewish law. Some jews believe you shouldn't drive a car on Saturday. That doesn't mean everyone should have to do that. To each his own.
Unless you are following strict jewish law regarding the Sabbath I would suggest you not bring that up. The Blue Laws made no sense and it is well past the time that they be repealed.
Let the people have their say.
Oh, yeah and don't call me a boozer.
