Ban guns? Ban movie theaters. Or Neuroscience

The Colorado movie theater shootings have brought the usual liberal media cries for gun control. Hey, the theater already had a “no firearms” sign, though some might say that was only an invitation. When only the government has guns, all will be safe? As if.

How about banning movie theaters? Makes as much sense, maybe more. Awful places, movie theaters, sticky floors, and unwashed, overly-perfumed bodies all crammed together, side-by-side. Usually some fat person in the seat in front of you, making it hard to see. Bound to send any left-thinking neuroscience PhD candidate in search of his fifteen minutes of fame.

After all, we now have the Internet, with streaming video. Must we continue these bizarre public meetings with popcorn and Big Gulps (already righteously banned in New York City)? For that matter, why not ban neuroscience? All those big words and exam cram sessions obviously caused a breakdown here.
