Upper Saddle River NJ, Blue Laws violated again by Toll Brothers in Bergen County. Why Toll Brother have no respect for our environment is obviously clear to anyone who followed the story of Apple Ridge a/k/a Preserve? But why Toll Brothers brakes social norm, respect for our believes and our religion is beyond comprehension. Perhaps if Satanism was allowed on the premises of Toll Brothers Bergen Sheriff and Jim Tedesco would act but because Blue Laws are broken almost every other Sunday nobody gives a damn…………..very sad state of Bergen County we are entering, very sad indeed.
In the meantime the Symbolism of Palm Sunday continued in Upper Saddle River yesterday. While pumps at Toll Brothers we’re pumping “colloidal clay” into Pleasant Brook all weekend (included sacred for Catholics Palm Sunday) we took a break in documenting the environmental carnage. We behave in the spirit of religious tradition and followed the well established Blue Laws in Bergen County. Why Toll Brothers is exempt from following the Blue Laws is an interesting question.
But let’s focusing more on symbolism of Easter Week. Did you know that:Eggs have long been a symbol of life and rebirth. Painting and dying eggs pre-dates Christianity. Polish folklore has the Virgin Mary offering eggs to the soldiers guarding Christ on the cross, as she begged them to be merciful, her tears left stains on the eggs.” Pictured below USR goose laying egs in the middle of muddy pond. Even on Palm Sunay Toll Brothers pumped heavy mud into Pleasant Brook.

Blue law – Wikipedia
Blue laws, also known as Sunday laws, are laws designed to restrict or ban some or all Sunday activities for religious reasons, particularly to promote the observance of a day of worship or rest. Blue laws may also restrict shopping or ban sale of certain items on specific days, most often on Sunday…en.wikipedia.org
Religion has no place in modern society. America is not a theocracy.
That’s stupid law, it’s don’t work anymore. Bergen blue blaw. Damn hypocrites.
Uncle DEP is not doing anything about this. Why.
Without Christianity there would be no America.
.
Everyone knows it.
… whether they like it or not.

Blue laws are a joke
Yes that’s all well and good. No religion has the right to tell people when to work or not work . It’s now then they get involved with their pay for workers . If I own a business in Bergen county and pay big rent on rt’17 , I Should be allowed to open up my store. Why should I lose a lot of money on a Sunday to other counties. Bergen County loses a lot of money on a Sunday to other counties and states. Thank you business owner. And I’m a Christian.
you did not know there were blue laws in Bergen when you moved in????
Blue laws are stupid. I can’t buy rubber gloves at harbor freight to change my oil but I can buy them at a drug store.
