Consider These world media views: Sunday shopping is liberal nonsense To Vima Online - Greece (via EuroTopics) At the behest of international creditors the Greek government has pushed through a controversial commercial reform whereby stores may remain open on Sundays. The left-liberal online newspaper To Vima doesnt believe the measure will do much to help the countrys ailing economy: The people in government believe consumption will go up if stores stay open longer. They even say that if people dont go shopping its because they cant find the time. Theyre supposedly so busy that they have no time to go window shopping or to try on clothes. ... Of course this idea has plenty of liberal backers. They claim that store owners and their staff should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to stay open on Sundays or not. Those who want to work should do so, they say, and those who dont dont have to. Such views remind us of the freedom of women in Islamic democracies who supposedly wear the veil because theyve decided to (although the alternative would be acid in the face).
