Let's hear it for red tape! A Bible-thumping church in Iowa had their plan for a good ol' fashioned book (and CD and video and . . .) burning scuttled by city and county ordinances that prohibit outdoor burning. The city of Cedar Rapids does not allow "burning rubbish as a recreational fire," (I'm not sure this qualifies, to he honest) but the surrounding county prohibits the transportation of materials out of the city into the county for public burning. Not to worry, thought police fans - the destruction will continue with the congregation throwing the offending materials into a dumpster while holding candles symbolic of the burning.
