3. Dressing up in costume for the local premier is fun and trendy.

Typically a first showing is at Midnight and people dress like a character. They did this at the Colorado shooting theater as well. Now there is lots of chatter about banning such costume attire for the movie premiers. ...not guns.

6. Geezus we've got some crazy stupid businesses in this country.

This is an example of us having to give up freedoms after
an act of terrorism, while the problem causing the terrorism
remains in place.

7. And people here on DU actually think banning costumes is a good idea.

Christ, no wonder America keeps getting shittier and shittier.
