The micro-fascism of everyday life : Or one more reason why George W. Bush won?

This is actually NOT a funny Defamer post. What I cannot understand is why wouldn't people just turn around and leave. This is why this country let Bush win --the trampling of civil liberties has become routine, normal. We're really not supposed to live in a free society; there's too much freedom; we can do away with some and still enjoy 2 1/2 hours of celluloidal oblivion.
A reader sends in yet another account of a paranoia-tinged screening. From the sound of last night's over-the-top security measures, it won't be long before the body-cavity search becomes a regular part of the preview experience--who knows what kind of recording equipment someone might have "accidentally" fallen on before the movie? We suggest viewers learn some anal Kegel exercises to prepare for this inevitability, with a self-administered, rubber glove dry-run in between sets.
