Paragons of Decency

It has, surely, taken the full measure of their cunning and skill, but the noble protectors of the hapless public have once again won a great victory for safety and security.

Fear not, mindless rabble, for the ever-vigilant defenders of freedom have, once again, saved you from a sinister terrorist threat. Not ingested explosives or underwear bombs, but lemonade. Yes, lemonade, the preferred weapon of mass destruction by pre-teen terrorists everywhere.

Midway, Georgia is the latest public bureaucracy to shut down a lemonade stand for operating without the proper license. Truly, we have never been safer from the threats that dwell only in the minds of unelected bureaucrats.

How much more will people take? How firmly must we be told that we are not free before we begin to believe it?
