My grandfather always used to tell me, if you're going to do something do it right. If you say you're going to do it, do it, and do it well.
Mr Terry promised us a book bonfire, now he's backing out.
The religious side is non consequential, I was much more interested in the social and political ramification of his act. I remember the history surrounding assassination of King Ferdinand that started WW I . I just find such things to be very interesting.

I don't wish for war, but I' certainly find it interesting that one man, exercising a constitutional right, can raise such eire, as to have half of the worlds population writhing in massive amounts of fury. I think it would have enlightened many of us, on how others see western ideas of Freedom of Expression, and simultaneously, the idea of a book being so important, that to destroy it is tantamount to murder.
