another lemonade stand

Nothing could be more quintessentially American than kids learning the values that made this country a success by opening lemonade stands. That’s why our liberal rulers won’t permit it:

According to Dustin Krutsinger of Coralville [Iowa], police shut down his 4-year-old daughter’s stand after just 30 minutes. Krutsinger said the officer told his wife “this isn’t the first time I’ve had to do this.”

Krutsinger said his daughter was selling lemonade for 25 cents a glass, and had made less than $5. According to the city of Coralville, 4-year-old Abigail Krutsinger was in violation of a two-day ordinance that required all vendors to have permits when RAGBRAI [a bicycle event] rolled into town.

As always, the bureaucrats are only grinding their heels in our faces for our own good:

Own good????? Thank you I'll be the judge of that. Self is better at determining that than some a**hole stranger with totally different perspectives on life.
