December 16, 1773 -- Let's commemorate and observe it this year.

The Boston Tea Party--an original protest against the tyranny of another King George. The closest thing we have to "Guy Fawke's Day" and a "V" occasion.

Anyone interested.

1. Sounds good to me.
As long as we have brought back a king, it works.

2. Great idea! Let's mail tea bags....of course they'd have to be
inspected before delivered......well, let's photocopy tea bags! mail the copies with some pertinent verbage.

3. Now wait just a minute here, those terrorists took private property, tea
...from a major corporation, the British East India Company and destroyed it by dumping that stuff, tea bricks, into the Bay. We should celebrate such an act of vandalism? :yoiks:

I think America should pay the British for the tea dumped over board and then tell the British to go fuck themselves!

4. I could think of a few companies we should do the similar
things to for all the bilking of the American public they have done.

5. modern equivalent
would be dragging all of the cheap crap in wal-mart out in the parking lot and running over all of it in Suv's bearing "W" bumper stickers.
