How many of you are just as sick and tired of Government telling us what we can and can not do?
Why does the left keep wanting more and more government, more and more money?
Aren't they just as sick of being told what to do and what not to do?
Why do they keep voting for politicians who want to run our lives? It's in both parties,but more so it the Democratic party.
I'm sick of government telling us;
What we can and can not eat.
What we can and can not drive.
What can and can and can not say.
What kind of light bulbs to use.
How we can and can not worship.
What we can and can not put in our yards.
Where we can an can not fly the American Flag
How we can and can not raise our children
Paying Government for permits for our children to sell lemonade and cookies.
What jobs we can and can not have.
Aren't You ?
I feel your pain, peach.
But I am not sick of the government. It's up for grabs every minute of every day by people who don't think like me as well as people who do.
If you want your children unencumbered by today's mores, you would be wise to home school them and limit their social engagements to people of whom you approve.
Children are just people, and if they sell lemonade and cookies on a busy public roadside, they could get killed by a careless driver or cause someone else to get killed. If they sell lemonade and cookies on a no-outlet cul-de-sac, they may be safer, but the location will probably preclude them from making enough money to cover their proprietary costs. Children are not as experienced nor as wise as adults, but if their parents do not know how dangerous certain street corners are, children deserve to know it from someone who has disciplinary clout over them. Since the government cannot control nor even know which families train their children well and which ones don't, the solution would follow to turn such matters over to a social service or teaching entity. Not to do so would leave a city liable for injuries incurred to anyone hurt by an accident at or near a lemonade stand.
Citrus drinks that are handled by people with dirt under fingernails, have been improperly stored or placed in containers with yesterday's product still in it are susceptible to
bacterial contamination that can cause serious illness.
I found this out myself in a restaurant that served me a citrus beverage that tasted a little stale. Not only was I in a hurry to get to work, I didn't send it back, but thought I needed to drink it with a headache remedy. In two hours, I was sick and vomiting, and two weeks later, I was able to go back to work. I went back to that restaurant and told the manager about my episode. She said she was sorry and would look into how her restaurant could have sold someone a beverage that was so stale as I described.
If licensed restaurants and people old enough to be waitresses can serve up citrus beverages that can make people sick, you can better believe a kid who just used the restroom after cleaning up the doggie doo she doesn't want daddy to find in her room might have a germ or two to spread to the public by taking cups off the stack and lining them up for her brother to pour a few glasses of lemonade in to sell to the public.
Escherichia coli O157:H7 in foods.
A child should not be made into an adult to serve food to the public. They might not understand the lingo, and like me being too in a hurry to think it through, they might make a mistake that could cause somebody else severe illness or even death.
They might even unwittingly hurt someone who loves to see children doing all they can to learn responsibility by taking on a small enterprise.
I'm a card-carrying conservative, but I don't stop at roadside stands and buy lemonade from children, even though it tugs my heart just like anyone else who thinks the world should not have any rules over business.
It's not a left or right issue. It's a survival issue.
