I found this article on a webpage linked here. It left me thinking the whole night.
I really got lost in thought with a feeling so numb. I should just stop saying anything further and let you know what I am going to.Well as the title suggests, I am talking about Free Speech. Why is it so important?Why speak up about things which do not directly hit you? Why speak up at all?Perhaps Pastor Martin Neimoller's view in one version of his quote will answer that question.
He supported the Nazis until he realized, too late, what they were really about and was sent to Dachau concentration camp.He was one of the fortunate to be freed and live until 1984.
