"That is just my well-considered, extremely likely opinion" Perhaps you should mainly criticize the citizenry who CALL in the government. The "government" does not patrol for lemonade stands. When you say it is your "likely" opinion- does that mean we cannot be sure what your opinion actually is, and that you yourself are not even certain. Does ONE not know for certain what ONE'S opinions are? Is ONE dealing in the probabilities of ONE'S possible opinion(s)? And what exactly makes your opinion well-considered? Can you give me a rough idea of the amount of time you have devoted to the subject of governmental interference in lemonade stands (which I confess is an issue new to me, as it has never been reported on in our city where there are numerous children vending things from their little stands, apparently unmolested by the government.) I always think it's irresponsible on busy streets because of child kidnapping- especially with small children. I wouldn't want my kids going up to adults in vehicles- geez- they have programs about that in school. But obviously the likely opinions of folks differ.
