My gym, which is next to FSU, has 8 tanning beds. I’ve never seen anybody go in. They are, apparently used but not much. So, how serious is this? Should government be involved? If so, where else might government see a need for their helpful parental advice and rules?

It seems to me there are already lots of tanning regulations as the gym manager was complaining about them.

Is that because Rosa spent too much time in the tanning booth as a teen (before she took that long fall down the ugly tree hitting every branch with her face)?

My kids were born tan. In 5 minutes in the sun they are golden brown - corpo durado... How the heck is an ignorant totalitarian @&$! Like this disaster of a human being going to tell the difference? “Trust us, we’ll know” is it? Liberalism is a mental disorder...

Tanning under 18: Bad

Killing unborn children when Mother is under 18: Good

Good luck, woman. Every high school female junior and senior starts getting that prom tan in March; they’ll simply get their mother to buy the tanning and walk in with mama, and get the tan for her.

Excellent. I especiall like this from your home page:

Saul Alinsky on "Change"... From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution."

Saul Alinsky, The Latter Rain (Latter-Rain.com is a "Liberation Theology" commie-left website -etl) http://latter-rain.com/ltrain/alinski.htm

This is precisely the end to which the communists in government have brought us. The vast, great swath of Americans is fed up and burned out on the hopey changey of Obama and his comrads. They (we) are ready for change that will bring us back to the greatness they have sought to destroy.
