the sin of burning books...

[katster]

yes, I'm still awake. Just wanted to share something I found on alt.callahans.

"sheesh. The willful destruction of art, literature and knowledge is probably
the greatest sin that can be commited, at least in my eyes."
--Keith, "Oh my oh my", Dec. 24

I don't know if it's the *greatest* sin in my catalogue of sins, but it's right up there...I should dig up the poem I wrote in HS, the one against book burning, that scared the hell out of the school librarian... %)
