    I agree with the major. This one isn’t on big government. It’s on a busybody neighbor. It’s also on anal and intrusive zoning ordinances that are implemented to placate busybody neighbors.

    Can you imagine what would have happened if those boys would have opened a lemonade stand in that treehouse?

    Oh, the horror!

    SWAT team-time, aelfheld, no doubt.

    It’s too bad the zoning board didn’t laugh the nosy neighbor off the phone either.
