Hi Mike, Burning Books???? There's more to it than that!! Those "Books" were just pieces of print and paper. really now!! it was the "Words" assembled into the thoughts and concepts the "Burners" were trying to destroy!!! Nice Bonfire boys and girls but as long as those ideas and concepts are in someone's soul they will never be destroyed. ....... Another war, another time, another man, .....immortal .... "Truth crushed to the earth is still truth still and like a seed will rise again" -Jefferson B. Davis- 1808-1889 The flame of truth can never be vanquished!!! Even when burned to an ash, it is not dead. For its' soul is immortal....... And, the lies used to suppress it are only chaff ..... to be blown away by the next wind..... Got Truth.......OUTLAW!!!!, skybill-out

On the day that his books were burned by the Nazis, Toller wrote: "Beneath the yoke of barbarism one must not keep silence; one must fight. Whoever is silent at such a time is a traitor to humanity."
"Wrong about many other things, Ernst Toller was right about this."
