I am not a fan of burning books, and I have some experience in this. We cannot burn books, no matter how much you dislike the book. I would not, for instance, burn the books of Dan Brown … None of us can claim ignorance on what book-burning means. The burning of books is unmistakable code for tyranny, bigotry, hatred and fascism.

noxnoctisanimus asked: Worth noting in regards to the ridiculous "why no white history month?" post: National Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15 - October 15, November is Native American Heritage Month, & May is Asian / Pacific American Heritage Month - so those DO exist... in case anyone was actually curious and not just being an asshat.
