I guess that part of the county official having common sense does now come into concideration!!!

Of course that is how government works...or doesn't.

I think they should have jailed the little sheister!!!  Heck, she was probably selling drugs on the side!  

Besides, you can tell she's a criminal..... impersonating Smokin Joes granddaughter and all!!!

yep heard about that on Lars Larson yesterday, I heard one of the commisioners apologized to the little girl. (I could have misheard)

your nanny state, craddle to the grave protection, all you have to give up is your freedom.

Wow, tax dollars at work...

So, what's everyone upset about?  Why should she have any special rights?  If you're going to open a business, you have to pay for your licenses.  Plain and simple.  She broke the law, she should pay the fine and maybe she'll learn from her mistakes.

If she were smart, she'd be studying up on the best government social programs she could get into, maybe get knocked up, and collect social security, and welfare.  I don't know why she would want to work for money, when the government is willing to give her all she really needs. 

Now, if she were really smart, she'd have some little Mexican kids, and learn Spanish, open a lemonade stand in Taiwan then cross the border to collect her welfare check, that'll pay for her villa on the baha peninsula. 

Isn't our government raising some good people? 

Trust me, I'm from the government, I'm here to help you!!

I think that if your kid wants to do a lemonaid stand just give it away and ask for 'donations'
takes all the 'for profit' out of the equation, and they might actually make more mon... I mean donations

Then you would probably get "zinged" for not being an NPO...

when i was unemployed i would do side jobs and when people would ask what they owed me i would tell them to pay me what they felt it cost to do the job. i always came out way ahead 'cause they were quoted a high price to begin with!!
