The tax is included in the Health Reform Bill for a reason. It's another example of the government intruding into our lives. They are it doing under the guise that we can't make intellegent, informed decisions and that they know what's best for us. In short, we need to be taken care of.

"Tanning salon owners are outraged. They say the new tax is the last thing they need in a struggling economy. But dermatologists hope the new tax will deter indoor tanning — which they say is every bit as dangerous as baking in the sun — the same way tobacco taxes have helped cut down on smoking."

Many people who don't go to tanning salons don't give a damn about the tax, because it doesn't affect them. Just as many people who don't smoke or drink couldn't care less about exorbitant taxes on tobacco and alcohol. But when the government decides that we need even more "protection" against "unhealthy" things, and decides to tax things we do care about, we'll be singing a different tune.

your warm and supple skin delights my touch, and the gliding of my fingers up and down your spine creates within my rising spirit an awareness of heavens glory, her gates wide open.. .

upon revelation of treasures long hid from me, i melt inwardly as your trove of precious thoughts works the wheels of my mind and invests it with renewed inspiration and fresh resolve.

your message is no mere dry statement, rife with boring facts, but, bolder still, an ardent declaration meant for the entire world to read, ponder, act upon.. .

The Beautiful Soul

by compound complex in

polly lamented that she had spent too much time being beautiful.. it was not her fault that life's capricious art had fashioned her so very lovely.

though her outward pulchritude was quite evenly matched by an inner beauty of unsurpassed purity, the young lady was nonetheless uneasy with her separateness from the ordinary folk.

this is not to say that her female companions were inordinately jealous of polly's exquisiteness.
