In an earlier post a video showed people being arrested for selling lemonade. The Washington Capitol police showed visible contempt for those demonstrators while the demonstrators recently arrested outside the White House protesting the Keystone pipeline where treated with gentle kindness. The difference between the two groups of demonstrators is simple. One group, the anti-pipeline crowd, represents a fringe minority of malcontent environmentalists but the lemonade sellers have wide national support and even a new web site to promote the selling of lemonade in cities across the country, from Sioux City, IA to Cleveland, OH.
In Houston there were 50,000 kid-run lemonade stands operating on Lemonade Day - May 1 - and lemonade sales topped $4 million . That must have been a little overwhelming for the "Lemonade Police." Maybe this is a metaphor for Obama's Washington and Rick Perry's Texas.
