I merely explained how kids' lemonade stands have worked for all time -- as a cute way to introduce kids to the real world of starting a small business. I believe that's what America is all about -- the opportunity to join the free enterprise system.
Now if they were charging money for the lemonade to make a profit OR to give it to a charity -- well, either way, that would be wonderful. But simply taking "stuff" out of their parents' kitchen and giving it away to strangers doesn't strike me as responsible behavior on a number of levels.
Isn't it great that we live in America, so we can disagree with each other civilly!
