Book burning is a crime against humanity

[Cyrano]

13. Can't agree with you

Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead," and "Atlas Shrugged," are two "bibles" for today's right wingers. (The ones who actually read books.)

But I wouldn't want them burned. I'd want them read, debated, and finally proved to be books that contain ideologies that aren't consistent with a decent, civilized, caring, humane society.

I'm just guessing here, but people like Cruz, Hawley, Cotton, Lindsay Graham, Rand Paul and others, probably treat Ayn Rand's books as their philosophical touchstones.

Having said that, no book should be burned. They should be be read and evaluated as either an asset, a disease, or a "meh," to human thought. Some people will always treasure "Mein Kampf," and that's their right. But it's not their right to bring the ideas therein into being.
