Will they call it "Snooki's Law?" - saving NJ from the scourge of underage tanning
Having solved all of New Jersey's other problems the Nanny Staters in our legislature are turning their attention to … underage tanning.
Lawmakers in New Jersey are shining a light on the use of tanning beds by minors.
Both the state Senate and Assembly plan to consider legislation Monday that would make it illegal for anyone under 18 from using tanning salons — even if they have their parents' permission.
I love that part — even if they have their parents' permission — it's everything that's wrong with government rolled up into 7 words.
The government knows what's best for our children, and they really don't give a shit what we think. They'll dictate what our children eat, what they wear, where they go, and most assuredly what they are expected to think. No aspect of our childrens' lives will be left to chance, because what if some parent somewhere makes the "wrong" choice?
The bill also requires salon operators to post signs warning minors to stay away.
I think there are signs posted at every government office warning common sense
to stay away.
