Your earlier point was that if I wanted to exercise free speech I had to own the property or else it meant nothing. My point was that the right to freedom of speech is protected in "publically owned" land, as long as it's not disrupting others' rights to move about or conduct business. Deny it all you like, spin it all you like, we do indeed have freedom of speech in public places. Sorry if you don't.

As to your PS: Did you miss the part where I said "impromptu"? Yes, a rally that will disrupt public business must be scheduled, but even when they're not they usually are allowed to continue. Also, that doesn't address what I said about preaching on a street corner. It happens from time to time, and it's entirely legal, and protected.
