So you're saying that 500 kids should be able to set up their stands in Central Park - conduct their business (and no doubt actually their parents' businesses too if this becomes acceptable - on public property - and turn a public park it into a giant open-air food court instead of a park with absolutely no oversight by health officials or park rangers.

I dunno, awestruck. That sounds more like a standard liberal chant to me!

Hey, why stop at Central Park? Yellowstone Park has lotsa spare room. Wall-to-wall lemonade stands & taco stands at municipal zoos sounds like a great idea too! Or how about everybody in your town comes to set up food & drink stands in your front yard, since the 'right' to poach on everybody else's property & the 'right' to deprive others of the use of their land for their own legally protected purposes is now up for grabs under the logic you're employing here.

omg...who said anything about 500 kids? why are you getting so extreme? this is ONE child.... ONE... just like lots of other kids throughout the decades who have set up lemonade stands...so what if its in central park or peoria? sheesh.. whats it like to be that paranoid all the time? Yes, one little child and her lemonade stand is going to turn central park into a giant open air food court... you win the olympic conclusion jump leap for sure.
