    Easy answer - Yes. I would find it very disturbing.

    ...and stupid, and symbolic, and have nothing to do with the book. Thoughts can't be destroyed by fire.

    This incident in Florida is theatre for the lowest common denominator and demonstrates how easy it is to live a free country, with free speech and justice for all, and yet use that free speech to demonstrate total intolerance of other points of view and promote hatred and fear.

    As Gerbick indicated earlier, book burning is a coward's way of causing conflict.
