Good point!Knowing I'll likely get beaten up for being a fascist, I'll put this idea forward:
Blue laws were enacted to make the law comply with the community standards of the time. I'll wager very few people felt imposed-upon at the time, for reasons stated aptly upthread.
Such laws may not make sense in today's 24/7 world, but they very much made sense when enacted.
When I was growing up the Blue Laws were just the way it was.
No one felt particularly put out by them.
Of course then, the pace of life was slower.
