Offtopic: Did you guys know that after 911 one of the major radio networks (with 1000+ affiliate stations) in the US had a 'do not play' list for songs. One of the those songs was 'Imagine' by John Lennon. The powers that be determined that lyrics like the ones below didn't suit the US in the aftermath as the war machine began lubricating it's gears...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
Interesting, fits right in with a discussion of banned books/speech if you ask me.
