Where do you draw the freedom of speech line?
the laws against incitement REQUIRE that a 'reasonable' person would react violently. burning a book, even if it were the last copy known of any volume, should NEVER elicit a violent response from REASONABLE people. Reacting violently to something like that marks you as completely unreasonable, illogical, and irrational.

It's not ME that drew the line of freedom of speech, talk to your supreme court justices who said the same thing about burning an american flag.
