Burning Certain Books Please Don't Freak Out

 I had a little book burning.

That sounds so, so bad.

Someday when I'm running for President of these United States some super extreme group or reporter is going to be like "PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BURNS BOOKS AND THEREBY HATES EDUCATION AND ALL OUR NATION'S CHILDREN" and I will lose the election. Sad.

But guess what, extreme political group and mainstream media? These were just fifteen year old sample question books for the bar examination. These books were written in. Pored over. They are stained with pencil. Pen. Tears. I kept the outlines for reference like a responsible attorney, but these specific books were begging to be incinerated. 

Reducing them to ashes was like moving out from an apartment you shared with really bad roommates. Leaving a job that gave you stress hives. It was leaving something behind that you never, never, never want to look back on. 

Plus, new fire pit!

The First Gentleman who might have been.
