Bible Burning

Hey everyone,

I'm terribly sorry for the lull. I've been hard at work implementing my latest plans to take over the IT industry.

However, today I come with something very disturbing. Right next to Pope Park (the giant pope statue on Brombach and Jos. Capau) lay two books this morning. One was a badly charred Bible, and the other was a Koran in decent condition. They lay right next to each other as if arranged that way. We flagged down a police officer and alerted her to the find. I could tell that she was disheartened by the books.

Before I conitnue let me state that I am not Christian. I do however have the utmost respect for all religious texts. Why anyone would burn a book confuses me, let alone a Bible! Books are compilations of knowledge, history, legend, and creativity. No matter the content, a book should never be burned, thrown away, or defaced.

I took some pictures of the scene this morning, but I do not wish to post them here. Whoever burned the Bible had an agenda and was obviously looking for attention. The only attention he/she will recieve is my soapbox rant about book burning.

On a side note, I would again like to say sorry. I hope to be able to have a fresh new story or project posted here once a week from now one. I have some great project ideas that I would like to see happen.

If you were at the Labor Day Parade, you might have seen me. I was marching with the fantastic group One Hamtramck, whose goal is to unite Hamtramck's diverse nationalities and provide a common ground for discussion. I hope to work with the group more in the future.
