Sadly the fuzz closing down a little kids lemonade stand has now happened countless times in recent years.

In the past they’d buy a cup.

It makes me wonder what kind of rigamorale you’d have to go through wanting to mow the neighborhood’s lawns for a few bucks, like I did when I was kid.

Health & Safety training course, insurance, possibly a business license, etc., etc.

I wouldn’t want to move to Pakistan either(nothing against Pakistanis; I’ve known a few here in Europe, and generally they’re very nice folks), but the Pakistani Mr. Stossel spoke to may have had a point regarding excessive red-tape. That made me chuckle.

When it would be easier for you to operate a lemonade stand in Lahore or Islamabad than anywhere in America, regulation has gone too damn far.

"Police Chief Kelly Morningstar explained, "We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade and of what the lemonade was made with."

Milk, milk, lemonade. The other side is where fudge is made.

That is the point. Many restaurants give the police free coffee, donuts or whatever. These kids expect to be paid.

This is amazing. They won’t protect the border but they’ll shut down a lemonade stand.
