“My boy, we’re pilgrims in an unholy land”
Y’know, at some point, I think Godwin’s Law must break down and drawing comparisons to the Nazis becomes legitimate. And I’m not 100% sure that heaping books into piles and lighting them on fire is that point… but it has to be awfully close, if not.
I wonder what hateful, pygmy-brained, bigoted angry mobs will do in the future if printed books go completely out of fashion. Thinking about it, the idea of a bunch of dimwitted haters downloading copies of some text that offends them to their electronic slates, then stacking them up and lighting them on fire is kind of amusing. I can’t help smiling at the thought of realization slowly creeping over them, as they watch their entire media libraries sizzle and fry, and choke on the toxic smoke released by the various hazardous components being incinerated.
