How about no burning anything in public? It's a stupid thing to do and proves nothing, risks starting unintended fires, or people injuring themselves, etc.

    LOL. Of course, I don't advocate for burning things just to burn things.

    I just don't think that burning your own books should be considered a crime.

    Burning stuff is a classic protest move though, and that shouldn't be restricted either - within safety limits of course; i.e. Don't leave your burning flag, book, bra, whatever where it might destroy unrelated stuff.
