California city shuts down girl's lemonade stand
Eight-year-old Daniela Earnest has made lemonade out of lemons in more ways than one this week.

Hoping to raise money for a family trip to Disneyland, the Tulare girl opened a lemonade stand Monday. But because Daniela didn't have a business license, the city of Tulare shut it down the same day.

From that came a radio station's offer of Disneyland tickets to Daniela's family — in exchange for 30 cups of lemonade — and an appearance in front of the Tulare City Council on Tuesday night that will likely lead to a compromise allowing her lemonade stand and other pint-sized business ventures to operate legally.

The story began Monday morning when Daniela and her stepmother, Marisa Earnest, set up shop at Cartmill Avenue and Hillman Street in north Tulare. The lemonade was freshly squeezed and priced at $2 for a 32-ounce plastic cup.

Richard Garcia, a Tulare code enforcement officer, happened to be at the same intersection to remove illegal signs left behind by someone selling tetherball poles.

Garcia told Daniela and her stepmother that their lemonade stand — on the northwest corner of the busy intersection — was not safe, and also that they needed a business license to sell lemonade.

Socialismo puro y duro.

Sólo piensan en recaudación, en la parte que le toca al gobierno, en que nadie puede hacer absolutamente nada sin estar controlado, censado, fichado, y pasando debida y previamente por caja.

Teddy Roosevelt hubiese felicitado a la cría por no limitarse a desear y pedir ese viaje, sino a estar también dispuesta a ensuciarse las manos y hacer algo por conseguirlo echando una manita. Y probablemente le hubiese comprado un vasito.

En la América actual, el gobierno estatal le cierra oficialmente el puesto a una niña de 9 años. Y eso que lo de vender limonada los críos es una tradición y una institución en ese país.

Acojonante a donde van. Derechos al abismo, por mearse en los principios de libertad e independencia que inspiraron la formación de su país.

Ni una sombra de lo que fueron, en cuanto a principios.
