Polar Opposite

Orson Scott Card on the horror of same-sex marriage.

Almost needless to say, we don't agree. Card's bottom line: same-sex marriage is the end of democracy, and justifies violent overthrow of the government. "Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn."

Marriage has only one definition, and it is in Card's personal dictionary and nowhere else.

Ugh.

I feel like being disgusted isn't enough. Perhaps a good old fashioned book-burning?

I tend to feel like a boycott would likely be more effective than a book burning, and morally more acceptable.

I think burning one's own personal copies of books is fine. I've never gotten around to it, but there are several I can think of that I'd like to do that with.

I've never burnt a book, but there's been one or two I've been so disgusted with that they "accidentally" fell into the tub. >.>
