Well I guess I'll just have to be patient untill you all become as
intelligent as I am.
Meanwhile, look at this. I got this from American Newspeak, a site of
true stories you can get by E-mail. You now need a permit to braid hair
in Tennessee. It's about time. That'll teach them hippies at the Farm.
This is related to Rainbow. Don't ask me to explain it. Don't ask me how
I know. It just is, OK ?

The state of Tennessee is leading a crackdown on one of America's most
pressing problems, unlicensed
hair braiders. Across the country, countless thousands of people have
been setting up neighborhood
businesses braiding hair without first obtaining a cosmetology license.
Dianne Watson, a spokeswoman
for the Tennessee Board of Cosmetology, says "Our concern is the health
and safety of the public. We
want people to follow sanitary measures." So to insure cleanliness,
Tennessee is insisting all hair braiders
get licenses requiring up to 2,100 hours of study, the amount of time
they estimate is required, I presume,
for a Tennessean to learn how to properly wash his or her hands.
Although little of the cosmetology
licensing required learning has anything to do with the proper braiding
of hair, Julie Becker of the
National Cosmetology Association defended it on the grounds that
"Licensing is important to keep our
industry professional." ( I recommend the use of a Boston accent when
delivering that particular
sentence). (AP 10/16)
