.... Why though? Was it the big suntan bed conglomerate that got to him and paid him to make that legal?

I'm kidding of course but ... Why do this? I don't get it. We all know sun tan beds are bad, why allow kids?

    Because UV rays make vitamin D, and that's probably as far as he thought about it. Anything else is big scary science man talk with risks about something as "healthy" as unlimited concentrated artificial sunlight.

    Next up: let's outlaw soap so that we can all have really good, well practiced immune systems.

    Actually maybe I shouldn't give them ideas. They might try that.
