I just read William L. Shirer's book "Berlin Diary". Shirer was CBS's chief European  radio correspondent in the 1930s. He witnessed the growth and accession to power of Germany's National Socialist party and everything that came after. The first thing to go was free debate followed by mass arrests of people who  didn't "fit" into the new German reality. 

You and others might want to buy a copy of this book to see just how fragile free speech really is. Have a nice day.
