Police ramp up on their nationwide crackdown of illegal lemonade stand enterprising. 'We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with,' says police chief in Midway, Ga.
Hopefully not a repost.
I bought lemonade illegally a couple weekends ago and I thought about warning the girl about how brutal the state can be on these issues but I decided she was too young to care and her parents should be the people to explain it.
"Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners."
"Police ramp up on their nationwide crackdown of illegal lemonade stand enterprising. 'We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with,' says police chief in Midway, Ga. "
If this was in Los Angeles it probably would of been like this:
"She's got a lemonade in her hands *draws a taser* PUT THAT LEMONADE DOWN! *tases* STOP RESISTING, STOP RESISTING! HER EYES ARE STILL OPEN, BEAT HER WITH A BATTON!"
"Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners."
Since this post has served it's purpose, I will now replace it with a verse from the Elton John classic, Tiny Dancer. Enjoy.
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today
Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.
"Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners."
Until someone dies from e-coli-tainted lemonade. Then those same lawmakers who are supposed to have protected the public never did their jobs properly had they let lemonade stands slide.
I don't like it, but that's the reality of the world we live in now.
Need the proper permit to sell such a dangerous substance as sugar. Look at all the fatties in the US already. This little girl is just contributing to health care expenditure by increasing diabetes.
Not only that, she might be using tapwater with Flouride in it. Sodium flouride, you know the main active component in Rat Poison.
Im sure its different down there, but what would happen if lets say someone were to get sick from the lemonade. I know its like one in a million, but lets say your the one. could you go after the parent?
I assume that's what the police were trying to get across. That and the fact that their selling goods and not paying taxes,etc.
Is she allowed to give out the lemonade free then and accept donations?

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Charities would have to be registered too. And while some might be considered tax exempt, they would still need the paperwork for anyone who wished to use it as a charitable donation.
I buy lemonade from every stand I see. As a matter of fact, the other day I was going for a rip on my dads road bike and I saw a lemonade stand so I quickly turned around to get some money. Gave them a twoonie and a marketing strategy
Wow, great achievement of the day for that police department. Instead of taking down a drug ring, or patroling the city to stop thefts, or assaults, they took down a little GIRL'S illegal LEMONADE STAND.
I got to commend them for their fine hard work...
Ultimate excellence lies
Not in winning
Every Battle
But in defeating the enemy
Without ever fighting.
The highest form of warfare
Is to attack
Strategy itself.

...so you're saying that a peel (we've all seen the lemon slices in the stereotypical lemonade pitcher) is always going to be properly washed, and not harboring any bacteria?
To make lemonade, you squeeze the juice out of the lemon, not the peel. Even if the peel is dirty, ideally it doesn't affect the delicions lemon inside. I'm not too concerned with the little girl pooing into the lemonade. There's safe, and then there's just paranoia.
