The message of Lemonade Freedom Day is simple - "Selling lemonade is not a crime!" To expand on that message, local officials should back off when our children want to earn a little money, learn a bit about responsibility and business, and simply have fun. Self-described Voluntaryist Robert Fernandes writes, "Please join us on August 20, 2011 and set up your own lemonade stand. We need to send a message to everyone who is listening. They cannot shut down the kids' lemonade stands. If you do not have kids or do not want to set up your own lemonade stand, please support a local kid's lemonade stand. Selling lemonade is not a crime!"
World Mosquito Day isn't a time to celebrate those pesky little critters who bite. It is a time to think about prevention. Use repellant, avoid being outdoors at dusk, and don't leave standing water on your property. Here's a great tip to help your little ones who want to scratch: Circle the bites with a blue ink pen! I can't say why, but the circles stop the itch.
What is your favorite virtual world? I'm partial to The Sims, especially The Sims 3, a most satisfying time-sucker. Happy Virtual Worlds Day!
On National Radio Day, take a moment to appreciate a medium that's free to all and reliable, offering news, music, and entertainment. Radio has survived in spite of television, the Internet, and so many other options.
