So you wonder why they didn't flat out ban or confiscate the book and then you say that paying for it was an abuse of power? That's a curious position...

- tw1st3dst33l 16y agoThe point isn't that their actions are too extreme, only that not only is the method ineffective, but they're using our money to buy and burn these books. If they HAD used a ban, it would not be a total waste of money as this is. Because they are just making people pay attention to this book. Had they not burned these, it most likely would have been passed off as yet another one of dozens of books about 9/11. Now that there has been this reaction, people know that the government is taking it seriously. Therefore, you should take it seriously too.
