I came across a discussion today on book burnings and people's opinion of it. I've always been against it, but this discussion gave me the impetus to consider the specifics of why I disagree with it.
I consider people who practice such things ignorant and backward. Knowledge is never bad, only what one does with it. Book burners accomplish nothing of substance. There's billions of Bibles in existence. While burning used to have the practical purpose of making "dangerous" knowledge less available or unavailable to others, today it doesn't even accomplish that. It's nothing more than an attention-seeking tantrum.
