In a way, this is a good thing.

The youngsters will know early on, government has become an all controlling, punitive oligarchy, who's main focus now are to seize your assets, seize your money, fine and regulate you.

It's all about total control.

Are you certain that it not a man?

It is important that Future Enterprisers learn early that amongst their biggest obstacle to success will be greedy Big Government, and that constant Big Government shake-downs are to be expected ... and that every year all levels of Big Government will be creating new mandates, regulations, etc. that will, of course, need to be funded by them.

What’s next? The Girl Scouts selling cookies, the Boy Scouts selling pop corn, the paper delivery boy, kid who mows lawns or shovels snow off the walk?

A token hispanic, a token black, a possible token jew (Rich was a well known Jewish business family name in Atlanta), and a woman with short hair and a solid build. Looks like all the bases are covered on that page.

Especially if the chihuahua has been eating Taco Bell.

Had the kids been selling doughnuts, they would have run out pretty quick and the cops can’t pass a good doughnut stand. Some things can be overlooked but “lemonade”? Nope!
there is no justice!

These F’ing cops got nothing to do....

It will be easier than you think to choose.

Surprised they didn’t handcuff her and take her in for questioning.

It will be easier than you think to choose.

I'm already there. Sobering thought, isn't it?

"One-in-twenty commercial activities required a license in the 1950s. Now it's one in three. We're approaching the stage where to engage in any form of commercial activity will require permission from the state." - Mark Steyn, as Limbaugh guest host 1 June 2011.

I guess kid's lemonade stands are included in the 33%.

Gasp! The short order cook has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth!!!! Can't believe that fine officer isn't dragging him off to the hoosegow!

As an aside, when I was a kid, we used to frequent a fish and chip place run by a retired Navy man named "Bud". Bud wore greasy white pants, greasy white T-shirt, and his sailor hat with the brim folded over. He ALWAYS had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. His fish and chips were the best I've ever had in my life.

What about insurance?

Did the little girls have business liability insurance?

How about government health permits? Were government inspections performed?

There should be a lemonade stand in front of every house this weekend.

This is ridiculous.

[Texas Eagle]

Midway Police Chief Kelly Morningstar says police also didn't know how the lemonade was made, who made it or what was in it.

Leave it to a Georgia Police Officer not to know what's in lemonade.

Here's a hint, Huckleberry, one of the ingredients is in the name.

...or write the whole city hall at info@historicmidway.com (found at http://historicmidway.com/pages/contactus.html )

Here's what I wrote them: YOUR WHOLE TOWN SHOULD BE ASHAMED ... about what you control freaks did to those kids with the lemonade stand. Change the name of your county to "Control Freak County." You have NO feeling for or clue what Liberty means. Next time I drive through I'm spending NO money; I'll just use your restroom and deposit what you clowns really deserve.

This IS a New/Activism post, after all.
