Wonder who she thinks was terrorized by the Boston Tea party?


The fishes in the harbor...? All those crates disturbing their slumber? And then all the caffeine from that tea....an enviornmental disaster...

How dare you!

Tea drinkers everywhere were terrorized and feared for the loss of their morning tea.

It was one of the more outrageous acts of the time.

BTW, did you know that the Taliban is really comparable to the Minutemen?

She attributed the 'terrorism' label to the British. Of course I don't think there is anyone sane, even in the UK, who would equate dumping tea into the ocean with knocking down skyscrapers or blowing up subways.
