That's stupid!" And then if they were referred back to the law, they probably said, "Oh yeah...because God said so." And they kept burning incense.

The point being...make sure if you question something, you find the answer before you ACT.
Funny! This was the "Word of the Day" from Dictionary.com in my Inbox on Tuesday so it looks like I had one up on you.

I agree with you. The definition says an iconoclast is a "breaker or destroyer" and someone who "attacks". This should be a grim reminder to everyone that before we tear something down, we should build something up that can serve as a stable, suitable alternative.
