I distinctly remember reading a newspaper article, back when I was in high school, which had in it an interview with a high-ranking member of the Soviet government (back when there was a Soviet government). Wish I still had the article. The interviewer asked the Soviet official about free speech in the USSR. "Oh, we have freedom of speech!" the official explained. "It's what happens
after you speak that is sometimes the issue. We do have to make sure that these people are not enemies of the state."
Don't worry about it. I'm sure it will never get that bad here.
