The new health-care reform bill is responsible for some new, so-called "sin taxes." Read about the uproar this is causing in this article about taxing tanning salon services:

Me? I'm as pale as they get. And I embrace my pastiness -- practically shout it out from the rooftop. But what gets me about our over-reaching government is this little nugget I read:
The Food and Drug Administration is considering new tanning rules that may include banning people with pale skin.
In my opinion, tanning is stupid. But what right does the FDA have to exclude a certain segment of the population, the pale segment, from getting our inner George Hamilton on?
