This day and age the only thing that a book burning can accomplish is a statement.
Nothing can get rid of a written work completely anymore.
I believe that if someone is protesting something worthy then it is ok to make a statement by burning a book. The whole idea that burning a book is morally wrong is crap. The freedom to urinate on an idea is just as precious as the freedom to create or embrace an idea.
Freedom is freedom. It is when we start taking the books out of other people's hands that we are wrong. But to burn your own book to make a statement...have at it.
