For almost 2,000 years, Western culture stopped -- primarily on Sunday -- for about 24 hours. Even when I was a child, you couldn't buy gasoline, you couldn't buy milk.

 The drugstores weren't open. The only thing that was open was a hospital. Even in dairy farming country, they would milk cows, but wouldn't bring in hay.
