Got a plan in mind? I think media responsibility would help. Home schooling and neighborhood schools where the parents hire the teachers and actively participate in the teaching. Take education / schools of the property taxes.

But, I think the coming economic hard times will go a long way to washing the blue dye out of people's hair and slim waistlines.

I like your thinking. Solutions can be found at the end of this article:

Getting control of the town councils and school boards and keeping them under a microscope is a good first step. Political action has gutted civics because civics can gut political action. They deliberately removed it from the curriculum:

Blue hair is a dead giveaway. Blue hair, piercings and a mask and tats.

In nature, poisonous animals like snakes and frogs often have bright colors that warn other animals. Some plants and mushrooms can be the same.

Re tats: I remember the Jimmy Buffet song "a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling." I like good tattoo work, but it has to have important meaning for the person. What I don't get are the full tattoo sleeves like they are in the Yakuza

I don't have a tat, but I'll excuse a drunken sailer or a sober one for that matter getting a small one denoting military service. Other than that...no. Remember the saying, "That Butterfly on Your Back Will Become a Buzzard in your Crack" when you are older.

Geriatric tattoos. They are a thing.

Have tattoos with "Grape nuts" and "Geritol." Well every custom or practice we humans do on ourselves will (with any luck) be geriatric eventually.

I will never understand tats. I have yet to see one that flatters anyone. To me, they are ugly. Why would someone deface their own body with graffiti? I don't get it, I never will. I thank God I had the good sense not to be dragged into that trend, I sure was into other ones.
