    You know, I get the sentiment behind this, but it seems very uneducated to me. There was a reason the colonials dumped tea. It was a highly popular item that everyone used, and the English government was forcing companies to only sell to Britain, which then taxed the hell out of it and sent it to us.

    As far as I'm concerned, they're just wasting good tea...

    How is one protest any more, or less, "educated" than another?

    That is an excellent question. Smells like another BS entitlement.

    I'll see you at the party in Boston!
