[UC] Rally for free speech
The Philadelphia Metro reports on the front page that a free speech rally will take place sometime today in Rittenhouse Square. Does anyone know the time? Apparently at the upscale park, Rittenhouse Square, singing by common folk is now a crime of disorderly conduct. I'm sorry to have to inform all of you that this is the future at Penn's upscale park at 43rd and Baltimore too. Free speech is considered an antiquated concept that is now the exclusive privilege of an upscale elite. UCD's partners, the Friends of Corporate Plutocracy (FOCP), have been refining the elimination of free speech and the public park for a long time. While I believe there is no hope for free speech at the Penn park, I beleieve there may be a slight hope because Rittenhouse Square is not the exclusive domain of Penn corporate interests. I wrote to the reporter and I'll post the time if he gets back to me. Glenn
RE: [UC] Rally for free speech
It was my good fortune to see Arlo Guthrie about 10 years ago in South Jersey and he mentioned that his song Ring Around The Rosie Rag was written about Rittenhouse Square. Apparantly some of his friends had indulged in ice cream and cannibus and decided to go stand in the fountain at Rittenhouse Square, splash one another and sing songs. Arlo, not wanting to get wet, sat on a bench and watched them. Soon, a Philly police officer arrived and said You can't' stand in the fountain and sing when they wouldn't get out of the fountain, he arrested them. Arlo got off the bench and said something along the lines of Hey man, you can't arrest them for standing in a fountain and singing. And the cop replied I can, and I'm going to arrest you for complaining about it. And he spent the night in jail. Or so he said. kc -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Glenn Sent: Tue 5/1/2007 9:15 AM To: UnivCity@list.purple.com Subject: [UC] Rally for free speech The Philadelphia Metro reports on the front page that a free speech rally will take place sometime today in Rittenhouse Square.

Re: [UC] Rally for free speech
Cassidy, I never thought you would be reminiscing about the days when we had hope for civil and constitutional rights. You should have checked with the elders at the civic associations before mentioning Arlo in public. Arlo like his daddy is a good for nothin' obstructionist. We call them terrorists, traitors, and trustafarians today. If Arlo shows up again at Rittenhouse Square or Clark park without a permit his ass will face more than a night in jail. Glenn PS. No word from the reporter. I wonder if the Metro avoided publishing the time of the rally because of fear of reprisal.

Re: [UC] Rally for free speech
MENNONITE HISTORY MOMENT Rittenhouse Square is named for the Mennonite William Rittenhouse who started the first paper mill in North America in 1690. It was the major paper manufacturing mill in America for over 100 years. He was also the first Mennonite minister in North America, serving at Germantown Mennonite. Vondel Square in Amsterdam is named after the Mennonite poet Joost von den Vondel, who later apostasized and became Catholic. Now it's full of hippies.

Re: [UC] Grinding the Faces of the Poor
That money could have funded a new and smart deal for the people of this country. Had we dealt with many solvable problems of global poverty with it, our country would be admired by the people of the world for its leadership. Let's remember, Corporate America and an ignorant angry middle class say there is no money for bleeding heart causes like education when real bleeding is so profitable. Besides, think how everyone's heart gets thumping while the triumphant music plays on Fox news. Isn't that what's truly important? So the rugrats in impoverished communities can't read, think of the glory as 24 hour news triumphantly proclaimed, mission accomplished. We are liberators!

[UC] Illegal songs
The cops were in force at Rittenhouse Square today. I'm glad UCD was keeping the district cleaner and safer. When the cops were preparing to arrest us, the crowd started singing the song about the home of the free and the brave. The people were surrounded the entire time but the cops never moved on their threat. Can you imagine how they must have felt getting prepared to arrest us for singing patriotic songs? Not the best story for the grand kids. The singing stopped at 2 PM. The organizers had a permit and thanked Darryl Clarke for assisting them in getting this permit to rally for free speech. They promise more action and ask you to call city council and ask them to support free speech in public parks. Some of the park neighbors spoke about the report that the neighbors wanted this prohibition. Apparently there is some civic association speaking for the neighbors quality of life. Imagine that! The neighbors present were telling a reporter from the daily news that the people of the neighborhood supported free speech and the arts. They asserted some movement by the neighbors is not true. I didn't speak to the assembly but I told the story about Clark park and the Friends of Corporate Plutocracy, FOCP, when appropriate. Not in jail, Glenn
RE: [UC] Treepostergate, Day 2 - exciting update!
Not sure why I bothered to do this, but I went back down to Farragut today to check on the hizzle's tiniest outrage and observed the following: 1) the bob brady posters that had been hung up with drywall screws had been pulled down. 2) the drywall screws are still in the trees. 3) some of the posters had been nailed to the trees with horse-shoe shaped nails (I'll defer to Brian or Al as to what the technical name of those are). 4) the horse-shoe nails kept a hold of the bit of the sign directly beneath them, so you can still see what used to be there. 5) not all of these are gone, there are still a few nailed to the trees. 6) there seem to be _more_ brady posters there now than there were, but that's to be expected, there are also a bunch of dwight evans posters up now that I didn't notice before. 7) the posters that were drywall screwed to the trees were done so _very high up_ Kareem Abdul Jamal wouldn't have been able to put them up there without standing on something, in every case the top screw was higher than I could reach.

[UC] Curio theatre
This week Curio Theatre brings more Commedia capering to life with The Green Bird. In this fantasy fairy tale the King returns from the war to find that his mother has seized the throne and mysteriously done away with his wife and children. Unknown to the King or his wicked mother, his family is still alive, but living in secret with the kingdomÂ’s finest sausage-maker, Truffaldino, and his wife Smeraldina. All is set to rights with the help of a sexy statue, a know-it-all stone head, a trip to a dark forest, and a mysterious Green Bird upon whom everything hinges.
