When I was a child, my brother and I and a friend down the street named Scott ran a lemonade stand. We sold Kool-Aid as well, but on a hot summer day we knew that grown-ups were far more likely to crave an ice-cold glass of lemony goodness. We didn't have a business license, but then who's gonna bust a few kids with a booth? Apparently it happens. And while the city of Naples, Florida, did give the kids a business license for their stand, it brings up another question all together: Is being a kid today tougher than 20 years ago? Update [2003-6-23 11:44:7 by matt]: One of the stories has a happy ending, update below.

Have you ever suggested that someone should shove it up their ass? Have you ever ordered someone to eat shit and die? Perhaps you're just a sorry bastard who doesn't give a fuck. Maybe you need to enroll in the Cuss Control Academy.

In France, it's called a "Royale with Cheese". This famous line from Pulp Fiction is one of the most oft-repeated from the film. It is Jules recalling to Vince his trip to Europe, where, due to the evils of the metric system, the Quarter Pounder has a different name.
Fast forward a few years and a turnabout is happening nationwide. As the US marches towards war, dissent is in the air. On the weekend of February 15th, worldwide protest marches drew international headlines and even forced President Bush to acknowledge that his stand might not be so popular, and to respond that he "repectfully disagrees" with those who oppose his willingness to war.
But the pro-war senitment is also quite healthy, and France, in leading the way for those who are opposed to the idea of invadign Iraq, is taking a few shots of it's own. Even the UN Secretary General has changed his stance, and warned France about standing in the way of strikes against Saddam. The resulting anti-France voices have given rise to a tactic not used since World War II: renaming foods against your enemies. Update [2003-2-19 13:0:44 by matt]: Powell goes so far as calling France "chicken".

With the Police willing to go all-out to find a pair of robbers wanted for stealing cookies, it only seems normal that small children, who until now were the culprits in such crimes, would have to reach out and commit crimes that are normally reserved for street-hardened drug addicts.
We've dealt with kids killing kids, kid-on-kid violence, and other kids doing wrong. These kids, however, are usually in their mid-teens. The Columbine kids were in Driver's Ed together. We've become (uncomfortably) accustomed to such crimes.
But what about when drugs enter not just the highschools, but the grade schools, too? Update [2003-1-17 9:59:5 by matt]: Parents, listen. Don't keep your weed where your school kids can get to it. Chances are, it'll become show and tell. If the parents had read this story before, they'd know.
