do you think book banning and book burning is wrong

i heard this happened in the states recently, mass book burnings...i think it's wrong because you should have the right to publish or read whatever book you want, i am against any forms of censorship....books are a wonderful thing, especially old vintage books and i think it would be unforgivable to burn them or ban them, that would make me feel very angry.

Yes. Totally wrong. Obscene even.

When not part of a purge by a dictatorship for nakedly ideological reasons, as of books by the Nazis or of music by the Taliban, but is encouraged by by small groups of amateur dictators in free countries, it seems to show merely intellectual weakness and cowardice by people terrified of ideas not their own.
