Will there be book burning in our future?
quote.......
Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries

HUMAN EVENTS asked a panel of 15 conservative scholars and public policy leaders to help us compile a list of the Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Each panelist nominated a number of titles and then voted on a ballot including all books nominated. A title received a score of 10 points for being listed No. 1 by one of our panelists, 9 points for being listed No. 2, etc. Appropriately, The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, earned the highest aggregate score and the No. 1 listing.

1. I will admit I am the type of weirdo that would have
"Mein Kampf" and "The Communist Manifesto" right next to eachother in my personal library just because my curiosity and passion to investigate all things controversial is just too much for me to control.

3. These small-minded lunatics need to move to some deserted island
Then they can raise their children in a vacuum just like they want to, without iflicting their anal-retentive issues on the rest of society. :crazy:

5. Nah. Just flag burning.
Seems it has been a very serious problem all over the country. Emergency and radical measures must be taken. Something must be done about it before it is too late!

:sarcasm:
