SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) - Public employees in San Bernardino County are
being asked to cover up tattoos and remove visible facial piercings in the
workplace.
A dress code adopted by the county Tuesday also bans jeans and T-shirts with
logos.
``If we have to cover them up, will the county provide bandages, so we have to
go around looking like we're burned?'' asked DeDe Cruz, 39, who works in a
county office in Fontana and has a small tattoo depicting angel wings on her
ankle.
Some said they shouldn't have to wear long-sleeve shirts to cover their tattoos
on hot days, while those with piercings worried that removing them can cause the
holes in their flesh to close up.
``We're not trying to limit anyone's freedom of expression,'' said Mark Uffer,
county administrative officer. ``Some people may find tattoos objectionable.
When you come to work, we're asking they be covered. We're no different from
banks and credit unions.''

Now you get all those tattoos covered up, and dress like you are told to, in the
"land of the free". You be good boys and girls now.
Lord Cerne Abbas
We shall go on to the end, we shall defend our World, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall
fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall
never surrender, and even if this World, or a large part of it were subjugated
and starving, then we would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time,
the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue
and the liberation of the old."
To rebel is right, to disobey is a duty, to act is necessary !
