considered protected under the First Amendment, because if this Koran burning is, then they are, I guess no one will have a problem if we burn all of Ayn Rand's work, Milton Friedman and the writings of all his mentors and sycophants, anything written by Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, etc., etc, and etc.. I think the book publishers will love it...more books to print to replace the books that are burned. Maybe it will stimulate the economy.
To put a little historical light on this. The book burnings that happened in previous eras also meant that no new versions of those books theoretically would be printed and no one should own any one of those books and keep it on their book shelves. We know that publishers will keep printing what sells, no matter how many copies are destroyed as long as they are free to and we are free to own them. We still are a free country in that way. I say we should hold our own book burnings to show the world we aren't slaves to the toxic ideology of those idiots. Yes, they can still print, buy and own. So can we.
We can all go out and buy a Koran in solidarity. Those crazies can't stop us and we can burn books we don't like because people can still own them. I probably am being really iconoclastic right now and will shock many, but if you think about what I am saying and have read this entire post, you may understand what I mean.
