I Tried to Open a Lemonade Stand by John Stossel.......

We went through something similar when we tried to have a cookout to thank supporters of our Christmas Parade.
Hot Dogs & hamburgers turned into a bureaucratic nightmare. They ( the government ) succeeded though.
We no longer do the business association, cook-outs or the Christmas Parade. Nobody had the time nor the money to deal with the insanity....

In Midway, Ga., a 14-year-old girl and her 10-year-old sister sold lemonade from their front yard. Two police officers bought some. But the next day, different officers ordered them to close their stand.

Their father went to city hall to try to find out why. The clerk laughed and said she didn't know. Eventually, Police Chief Kelly Morningstar explained, "We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade and of what the lemonade was made with."
