bookish_dragonOld, I know. But still worth boggling about. Add the irony about burning a book condemning the practice and I don't need any spinach for the coming month.
"There's Bible-burning in there, so it's bad." That was more or less the point of the book. It deals with censorship. It's about a society dealing with people thinking for themselves.
Books and the ideas therein are too important to burn en masse. You can't control people by forbidding them to read. or to think for themselves. (Ok, you can, I know. I read 1984 as well. But you shouldn't do it.)
Sheesh people! Think outside that skull of yours.
Kudos to the students who protested the burning.
