- imajazzbaby: I am in a quandary. I am currently cheating clearing out my late father’s house. His red neck MAGA house. It’s actually not too bad, flags, war eagles, “United We Stand” stickers on the windows. But there’s a huge stack of Dennis Prager books. Plus the complete works of Ayn Rand 🤮 I don’t believe in burning books. But I don’t want to donate that crap and send it out into the world either. Any ideas on what to do with them? pzmyers: Nothing is sacred. Burn the trash. You are not saying others can’t read them (although they shouldn’t) but that you are decluttering your personal property. I am sorry that your father had such poor taste in books. That does not mean you are obligated to propagate it. (remote)
