    Book Burning?

    Wow... that's one Red Neck pastor (wearing denim coveralls??)

    Free speech and all that... still a book burning is rather unsettling (triply so to a bibliophile like myself).

      A thought

      Its not like the publishers wont churn out many many times the amount they burn at their ridiculous ceremony. my point is its pointless to burn books so if they want to let them, its not going to damage the supply of books for the rest of us.

        burninate the countryside

        “my point is its pointless to burn books so if they want to let them, its not going to damage the supply of books for the rest of us.”

        I’m not recommending stopping them, just stating that the idea of a book burning seems unsettlingly reminiscent of the Dark Ages… indicative of a barbaric mindset that would rather destroy ideas rather then debate them.

        But then I love books, new ones with crisp pages smelling of printers ink to ones yellowing with age that smell of long days on dusty shelves.

    Thats down right bizarre

    Free speech is free speech , and even if I dont support it. That is so unlike what liberals would like to do to Christians ie silence us because they disagree. I think debate is a necessary, albeit, sometimes evil in a society , it helps to cement your views and persepectives and pressure always strengthens a resolve. Weird that they are burning books. I wouldnt let it get to you though...FREEDOM means FREEDOM.
