I do not agree that books should be destroyed.  The only way to fight 
thinking and thought is with thought and thinking.  Burning of books is 
NOT the way to do that.  Certain works can serve a useful purpose, that of 
a bad example.  Use our past to create a better future.  We know what 
doesn't work, so let's try something that does.  Even Anarchy didn't work 
in the past.  

Anarchy, I believe, is defined as constant revolution.  With that state of 
violence a constant, violence against all would follow.  We are not living 
in the "enlightened" age of Locke, but in the early stages of Hobbes.  
Think about it.
