Back when I was a kid in the '60s, lots of people suffered from lemonade poisoning at the hands of these unregulated peddlers. It's better that these young girls are now doing dangerous manual labor.

Seems to be a fairly common (and ridiculous) occurrence: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20012899-504083.html

Stories like this make me wish for a button that says 'Go Viral'---so that I could push it and take the information to everyone. Idiots who create laws without regard to consequence and those 'who just follow orders' are a part of the problem in the Eldridge Cleaver/Charles Rosner sense.

When will todays criminals learn that they must have a box of donuts and fresh coffee "complimentary" when they sell lemonade.
