BOOK BURNING

I don't have an opinion either way, concerning the burning of the Koran in Florida. BUT, I do have an opinion concerning the reactions to this intended burning.
There is much more to be gained by the publicity on this action, than rather by the act itself. Look, just what the heck does it matter what book is burned in your own back yard. Heck, I burn a lot of magazines and newspapers, and these media also have a lot of controversy in them. So, what is the hub - bub all about?
It would seem that the very act of burning a book isn't anything anyone cares about, but there does seem to be something of concern by telling everyone that you are going to burn a book. BUT, THAT still isn't the issue. The issue is why the heck do we care what others do in response to this book burning? Do you mean to tell me that I cannot perform a normal function of getting rid of trash, if there is some sort of disagreement with why I am doing it?
We even have a Military General stating his dissatisfaction with this event, as if what happens in Florida, in someones back yard, will affect what goes on in the Middle East. That is absolute bolderdash. If any individual or people collectively, reacting to this simple matter of getting rid of a book, can actually stop me or anyone else from burning that product, then they are the ones who we ought to be concerned with. Kooks like that who react violently to a simple act, are a real threat to not only themselves but anyone who they come into contact with. It is reasonable to consider these people dangerous, who have an agenda, and whom could care less about others. It is reasonable to believe, a country that cowers to these militants is in danger of giving in to them so much that we are in danger of losing our freedoms.
Where is the back bone of the good Ole USA?  Why do we now stand stooped over at the mere anger of militants? Where is the spine this country was built on? Doesn't all this just make you sick; sick that we are losing our country and our freedoms? Why does a book burning, make the leaders of the greatest country in the world, whimper?
