23. I believe that the "free speech zones" started around the economic

summit and abortion clinics.

I believe that the "free speech zone" at that time was a protective wall (or just zone) around an area, protecting the area from the free speech.

In other words, prior to 2001, the US was a "free speech zone", the non-"free" areas were tiny little areas where you weren't allowed to protest.

After 2001, the US is now a non-"free speech zone", and tiny little areas are where you can voice your opinion without fear of arrest.
