No really, it is. And it's not just because we've lost habeas corpus, a bedrock protective law and a cornerstone of American freedom, to the rabid, stupid dogs of neoconservative fearmongering. That merely feels like a weird horror movie, the leatherfaced guy with the chain saw hacking off the head of the sexy college girl and laughing maniacally. The pain is simply too horrific and cartoonish to even register. Yet.
No, Bush's ambling rape of the Constitution and moral law is not the true sign of social decay and devolution. There is a far worse problem lurking, lingering, sneaking up on American values like giant snakes slithering onto a plane.
The real problem is, of course, tattoos. And piercings. And also: single people who defy the institution of marriage and choose to live together in sin. And then get tattoos. Haven't you heard?
Oh, the breakdown, the rending and tearing of the social fabric of American life. Just look. Look at these headlines, blaring and moaning and scaring the children.

One day a lot of these people are going to wake up, look at themselves in the mirror and wonder "what the hell was I thinking?"
Of course, by then it's too late. Laser removal leaves some bad scarring, especially if it's over a wide area like this woman's arm and it's rather pricy. A hard pill to swallow on a librarian's salary.
That tattoo removal creams have been widely debunked as worthless.
Usually planted on a bar stool...
Tatoos do not age well and CANNOT be totally laser removed. These will look hideous as these skanks get old.
She HAS tattoos. What she NEEDS is a manicure.
A sign of the times. Follow an impetuous urge or fad without considering the long term consequences.
"Hey Grandma, what's that ugly blue blob on your breast?"
LOL and right you are! These tatoos are passe.
No young person in 2030 would DREAM of having a hideous tatoo. It will be a symbol of unattractive old farthood.
No foolin'!
I've been around enough real "Old Navy" to understand that tattoos do not age well.

It is called "Body Dysmorphic Disorder," and it is a serious mental illnesss.
