There is no 'free' lemonade
Found on Chicago Sun-Times on Tuesday, 06 July 2010
Always stop to buy lemonade from kids who are entrepreneurial enough to open up a little business.
Then my brother asked how much each item cost.
"Oh, no," they replied in unison, "they're all free!"
"No!" I exclaimed from the back seat. "That's not the spirit of giving. You can only really give when you give something you own. They're giving away their parents' things -- the lemonade, cups, candy. It's not theirs to give."
The Declaration of Independence promised "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." It didn't promise anything free.
What an amazing idiot. There are some girls who feel happy because they make other people happy with free lemonade and here he comes and yells at them for not being greedy for cash. His "cash for everything" mentality is what's wrong: if you quit being a money-hungry bastard, you will feel better. People like him should put a sock in it and get off the soapbox.
