I suspect Little Nemo is the reason they don’t have a “comments” feature turned on at that page.
They do, however, have a traditional “Letters to the Editor” feature - and here’s their selection about that column. Looks like the last commenter got into the spirit!
And the older girls should take some lessons from them about giving things away. 
Either post this in the readers’ comment section, or I will!
As per the original article, that was truly the dumbest thing I’ve read in over a month, and that’s saying something considering I post here.
What I want to know is, was the lemonade made from real communists?
I won’t be but feel free if you want.
:eek:
eek.
I was delivering a pizza one day to a house on a cul-de-sac street in a quiet suburban neighborhood, and across the street some kids had a lemonade stand set up in their front yard by the curb. A squad car pulled up and a city cop got out, rang the doorbell, and began speaking to a woman inside. I saw him gesture toward the kids, and then heard the woman exclaim “are you KIDDING ME?” No idea whether it was a random patrol or some asshole neighbor had ratted them out.
Hey, when I was on heparin, I was *also *on warfarin (Coumadin).
Hey, in that cae, if he had to smash little kids dreams at least he did it with style. You have to give him points for that. 
Much better then an insane harpy shrieking incoherently from the backseat of a car.
This is an interesting conundrum:
By the author’s own admission, she makes a practice of patronizing children’s lemonade stands, in order to encourage budding entrepreneurial spirit. But is this practice consistent with the exercise of free market capitalism? She’s not basing her buying decision on the quality of the lemonade, or its price point. Indeed, she’s taking her lemonade business away from companies who have researched their products, employed quality control, and presumably offer a fine product at a bargain price, and giving it to a vendor whose product will be of uncertain quality and possibly higher price, based entirely on her desire to reward that vendor for deciding to enter the business world.
And then, if your price point and quality are competitive, you’ll make money.
Why is it OK to ignore that part of the free market gospel?
The author is, in other words, indulging in precisely the same sort of generosity that she condemns in the kids.
isn’t it obvious that the lemonade was pink and the message of the article is one of homophobia?
Clearly pink, but not homophobic: remember Nixon’s comment about Helen Gahagan Douglas?
I’m just bummed out that you can’t leave a comment on the article at the Sun Times web site.
Just point lurking guest in that direction and sit back to watch the fun
Because this economic conservative, like so many of them, is a fucking retard who has dogma instead of logic.
I’ll be generous and discount the “conservative” part, because charity is supposed to be an integral component of conservatism.
In fact, I don’t think the author is a principled conservative at all, but rather a Foxian/Republican hack, which has little to do with conservative principles at all but rather just finding anything to maintain a level of faux outrage against strawman liberalism.
If this little girl asked you to buy lemonade, would YOU say no?
When life hands you lemons, insist on paying for them.
Since I see Autolycus didn’t put it up, I’m going to take that as a generalized invitation, and do it myself.
D’Oh!
And when I register, log on, and post it, THAT’S when it lets me see the comment as posted by Auto.
Sorry about that.
