Book Burning Party!!!

When I first saw this atrocious headline, I was disgusted that people would actually host a gathering to BURN books.  I mean, even if you are not an avid reader, doesn’t the idea of burning books horrify you and make you wonder what is wrong with these people.  Captured by what they had to say about this, I read over the paragraph provided to gather the answers my confused person could not immediately identify.  In order gather much needed votes to SAVE their public library from closing due to low funds in the community’s budget, book lovers resorted to an extremely effective use of reverse psychology.  Since the Tea Party’s campaign consisted of “Say No to Taxes” the library had to take drastic measures in order to make people want to pay the extra fees to keep it open.  Clicking on the video provided, I watched how they gathered attention to their cause by suggesting something completely vile.  People immediately reacted to this horrendous idea by the thousands and soon caught the attention of the media both local and national.  I loved how reverse psychology forced people to protect the library they were ready to sacrifice for less taxes.  Other libraries, some as far as London, have mimicked the library in Troy, Michigan by campaigning to have their own book burning parties in order to save their own libraries from closing.  It just shows how easily people can be manipulated by suggesting a morally wrong celebration.  Please check it out, even if you do not care about the saving of the library the man’s voice speaking is quite funny.  Here is the URL address http://www.alicemarvels.com/archives/8325?utm_source=AliceMarvels+List&utm_campaign=83c8498642-Alice_Marvels_2012_6_015_30_2012&utm_medium=email#
