Hazelwood, MO Demands Girl Scouts Stop Selling Cookies

It's been a rough summer for entrepreneurial kids. July brought two stories of lemonade stands gone wrong: one was robbed, and the other was broken up by police who mistakenly thought it was in violation of city ordinances. And now a group of Girl Scouts has lost their right to sell cookies from their own driveway. A law suit by a group of Scouts in Hazelwood, MO defend their right to do so was thrown out by a St. Louis County Circuit Judge.

Yes, we know a law is a law, but come on. Can't some governing body rule that the offending neighbor and the girl scout family be brought to arbitration? Better yet, can't the city turn it's head for two weeks and overlook this dastardly deed . . . just like the city's police department overlooks people driving 2-3 MPH over the speed limit.  Hey, they're breaking the law.
