If you don't check out the books from a public library, they get "weeded", or removed from the collection.
The Great Soviet Encyclopedia was another choice that was probably removed from lack of interest rather than an overarching conspiracy.
Also, if anyone granted you a library card without checking for identification, they were wrong in doing so. I'd be fired from my library for doing irresponsible stuff like that.
"It's time we had this whole capitalism, communism, socialism, democracy, totalitarianism, aristocracy, imperialism thing hashed out once and for all, or at least a good start on it."
Capitalism, aristocracy, and imperialism are not governments. Capitalism is strictly an economic model, aristocracy is a class, and imperialism is an outlook taken by a government (be it totalitarian, democratic, or communist).
I've been playing Madden 2004, NCAA football 2003, Mike Tyson's Punch Out and other outdated games for the last few years. My interest in these games hasn't declined, but my blind willingness to buy an "improved" copy of a game i own has been impaired by age.
Although no longer a teen, I still play quite a few hours of videogames per week (not having kids results in a good chunk of free time- w00t), however, they are "comfort games", things I can play while listening to CDs, chatting on the phone, and running IM.
In pure economic terms, if my marginal returns on games I own are not noticeably decreasing, why would I invest in something new.

It's only "Legal Murder" and "Legal Robbery" if the state's doing it, but we use colorful euphemisms like "Capital Punishment" and "Eminent Domain"
I'm sure the KY/FED combo has no friction and a smooth loophole
Hey. Be nice. I have relatives incarcerated there.
Well, unless the drunk gun-toting smoker was the college roomate of a friend of a friend.
