Burn This Post

You give a thing power by your actions and beliefs.  This is true if you revere or revile something.

Words are immortal, books are not.

Free speech isn't free.  The work of not tolerating intolerance starts here, with everyone using their freedom of speech to condemn the Holy Book fetishists of all stripes: those who revere them to the point of madness, and those who revile them to the point of madness.

So burn your Quarans, burn your American flags, burn your tax bills, whatever.  Just remember that you are locking your own chains.  You are building your own prison.  While the rest of us move toward a more perfect union, you're the one who's stuck where you are, angry at an inanimate object that has only harmed you in your imagination.
