RECEPTIONIST: It was against the law to buy liquor in Kansas on Sundays? I guess it figures. All I really know about Kansas is Dorothy's line in The Wizard of Oz when she says "we're not in Kansas."
Oh, I also remember the song "Dust in the Wind" by the group Kansas, so I guess I knew more about Kansas than I thought. |

CANDY: I have a problem with that. I think if the law clearly stated a ban on Sunday liquor sales, then that's what the law should still be. It doesn't matter if people want to change it. Laws are made for a reason and once a law is made it should not be changed - unless of course it's one of those liberal laws that has damaged the moral fabric of this country. |

SARA MOTH: Yeah, I read about how Kansas wouldn't let go of prohibition until 1948. Then they came up with the no sales on Sunday thing that lasted for decades. I have mixed opinions on alcohol. On one hand I think that wine goes well with a fine meal and on the other hand, I don't want people to think of me as an alcoholic. I used to drink every day. Now it's more like whenever I feel like it, which is usually every evening, but only during dinner and maybe afterwards. |

LEFT GUARD LARRY: They got some strange ways in that part of the country. Now how come Kansas City ain't in Kansas? The reason I know that is cuz I always check to see which states my favorite teams play in. So if they can't even get the name of their own state right, it's no wonder it's taken them this long to get the alcohol laws straight. Maybe now people who watch the games on Sunday can drink a beer and not be treated like outlaws by fools that
don't know how to chill and have a good time. |

WORKER JOE: Hey, man good for Kansas for taking care of an outdated law. Man I bet that
state has been full of Sunday bootleggers for years. It was a dumb law. Everybody drinks, especially on Sunday, when all the games are on. I think the government finally realized that the games are important. Man, cuz if the fans don't get charged up, then the team might not play as good. Plus all the big sponsors are beer companies. Man, the government's gotta know by now that economics revolves around sports and you can't be cutting off money from the industries that are based on sports. |

FATHER SULLIVAN: There is still time to convince Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to veto this bill. I urge all of you to be proactive in this matter. In other words, let's write letters and send emails to the governor, urging her not to sign this anti-Christian bill. It is not that alcohol is wrong. After all, Jesus turned water into wine. It's the idea of selling this holy juice on Sunday that I have a big problem with. I just think some things should be sacred. |

CHUMPY SMITH: Now that's an example of a state that's fifty years behind the times. But I'm glad to see them try to correct their mistaken failed attempt at fascism. Alcohol is one of those feel good drugs that most people, especially myself, can't live without. I think I heard on one of the late night comedy shows that a majority of Americans are alcoholics. At least I think it was on TV, but it might have been at a bar. Anyway, you take away booze and you take away freedom and that's like burning the flag. |
