A new advertising campaign seems to be developing in the neighborhood. Someone has started affixing high quality glossy bumper stickers to poles with the following information: This is West Philly "University City" is a marketing scheme Maybe it's an April Fools joke. Just as the Colonists kicked the Crown's jackbooted-tax-collecting-thugs from our midst, a new generation yearns to live the life of The American Dream - self-determination in off-campus W/SW Philadelphia - with the absence of self-serving mandates of private institutions ever feeding at the publics' troughs. We whimpered like cowardly dogs when they remade Smokes into a parking garage and drove out Doc Watson's. The Tyrants imperiously took away on-campus spirits and now they expropriate the people's independent off-campus living. While we legally can not hang the UCD Tories from the trees of Clark Park, let the demands for freedom be constantly and productively seen and heard among us. Forget not the lessons of our history: "Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Declaration of Independence, 4 July 1776 The Revolution has begun, anew. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
