Philadelphia Pennsylvania is known as the city of brotherly love. This is derived fom the greek word philos, meaning love, and adelphos, meaning brother. I did not really feel much love in that city though. It definately has a more if you are not from here you are not from here feeling to me. Philadelphia, known to many as Philly, is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 declaring not only independence for the original thirteen colonies from Great Britian, but more importantly in my view, that all men are created equally. Of equal importance is the declaration of the inalienable rights of man, which are universal rights that come from no government, law, or culture but are rights by birth. Included in these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as the right of revolution, which insists that it is not only the right but the duty of a people to overthrow a governing body that acts against their common interests.
