>Benjamin Franklin started every day by asking ""What good shall I do this day?" One day he decided to establish the first Public library to which generations of Americans were subsequently "forced" to contribute. He also said this: "As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously."

>Lenin, Stalin, Franklin. Bunch of commies. ;-)
Franklin and friends started a subscription library not public and not forced. It is still in existence today as a non-profit organization called the Library Company.
