Um, yeah b/c it's not ok to want to help cut down on skin cancer. That reminds me ... I should probably cancel my appt. for this week.

    "...it imposes unfair taxes on those Americans who are insufficiently melanin-enabled."

    Oh, wow.  There is a PC term for being pale, now?  I should be the poster child.  Or maybe not.  I have lots of melanin, but it is deposited into very small spots all over me.  :)

    The whole thing is ridiculous.  I'd never go to a tanning bed, and with all the research, I don't know how anybody else could, either.

    I love it.  If this is the voice of the health care opposition...bring it on.  There's no reason to need to defend against such a clearly moronic point-of-view.

    Ludicrous.  And I don't like the HCR bill!

    Hah, if it wasn't on Glenn Beck I would have thought it was a farce, like a skit on SNL or something.

    Wow.  I thought that part was the best part of the bill.  I think it should be 200%, along with taxes on junk food, cigarettes and soft drinks.  

    Maybe coffee too.  Yeah, I guess that'll encourage me to quit.  Yes, coffee too.

    Wow what a lame argument! And really, are people going to stop tanning because it will now cost an extra 50 cents or dollar?
