While I see your point that you did not want to view things like that, it would be idiosyncratic for the government to monitor those types of things. In fact, you did exactly what I feel is the solution: monitor it yourself, and don't get the government involved. Questionable material will not survive in a community that doesn't want it, so there should be no problems if everybody would speak up when they find something offensive.
As for the government, that is on a national level and inappropriate for a select community (or neighborhood, or group of people) to control what everyone else sees. If everybody in the nation complained about a specific poster, or CD, or magazine, sure it'd be right to ban it. But not in any other circumstance besides a clear majority is this right to do.
As having a certain stance on things, the deli/candy store incident proves that you have very much a power to change things in your neighborhood. I encourage you to do so. But please do not force it on me and the rest of the country.
