If anyone besides me somewhat disturbed by the fact that in U.S. cities hosting major political events, free speech is apparently delimited to specified free speech zones, outside of which, and sometimes in which, you will be arrested for such crimes as congregating, placard waving, speaking, singing, dancing, debating, and sometimes just plain trying to get through to the other side.
Some good reading in light of recent events.
