Book Burnings: The Misunderstood Practice

If history has taught us anything, it's that book burnings are bad, right? WRONG! While many believe book burnings were the cries of ignorant masses tossing education and knowledge aside, they fail to understand the purpose of book burnings. I know, I know! Hitler did it, Stalin did it...blah, blah, blah! Hitler and Stalin also drank water and breathed *gasp* oxygen! You gonna stop drinking water and breathing oxygen? (actually when you fully Embrace The Silence who knows what could happen?) The point is just because "bad" people do it doesn't mean that the thing is bad, ugh! I have to explain this? Book Burning is something we hear at The Koalemosian Institute encourage and is a welcoming ceremony for new members and we always start by burning the worst book in human history...The Dictionary (more on that later). Book Burnings are all about purging yourself of awful ideas and views that differ from your own. We all do this even if we don't admit to it, burning books is just a lot more honest and open about what you believe and what you don't. 

We should all purge the things that plague society and books are a GREAT place to start! Think about it, what would happen if Hitler never read anything about mass murder? If Stalin never read books on Communism and all of those books were burned. Think about all the bad and horrible things that would have never come to pass if we had just burned the books. Tell me again why book burning is bad. You can't. Every evil and awful idea has come from a book. Kevin never wrote a book and we here at The Koalemosian Institute are far too enlightened to gain insight from a book. We gain insight and enlightenment from The Silence. So remember, EMBRACE THE SILENCE!
