While I'm at it, it also angers me a great deal that deploring the library-burning in the UK puts me on the same side as people who were conspicuously silent when people they liked occupied and severely damaged a library over here.

Some of us have a consistent position that _any_ people who so much as breathe hostile intent near a collection of books should be literally set on fire, thank you so very much.

(But at a distance, obviously, so they don't disturb the readers.)
