not so sure about democracy

You know that slightly ill feeling you get when you're at the movies, and an incredibly stupid preview comes on and to your horror, your fellow movie-goers laugh, or applaud, or make other laugh-track-conditioned responses? I was watching John McCain give his "contrasting with Obama" speech this evening--he's a terrible speaker--and when his audience responded with the desired "boooo" or "yeeeeeah" or whatever, I thought to myself what a shame it is that they can vote.

(here's the speech I was talking about. The movie, as I recall, was "You don't mess with the Zohan.")
