You are not - and never will be - alone . . .

Out there.

Here in Oregon, you cannot legally purchase certain hair-cutting instruments unless you are certified by the state, that is, unless you obtain a beautician's license.

Let me repeat that in case you missed it: without a beautician's license, you cannot buy hair clippers in Oregon.

I am not making this up.

Imagine, if you can, the horror of confronting an unlicensed barber with clippers in his hand. Maybe scissors, too.

Frisson-worthy, for sure.

When George Bush famously said "when people are hurting, government has got to move", didn't you just cringe?

So, you see, it's not a party thing, there's no ideology involved. It's all, they're all, just . . .

Bad.
