The Boston Tea Party was neither lawful, nor entirely peaceful. 

Quite. Do you want us to return to this kind of behavior? Thought so.

Gee Rev... tell us how you REALLY feel! Holding back like that... ain't healthy, bro!  :laugh:

On a bet, I quit smoking for a week.  They doubled the bet to apply to caffiene.  On the second day, around lunch, one of my less intelligent buddies was waving an ice cold Mtn Dew (1 liter, my favorite, just a HAIR above freezing) in front of my face.  Folks did warn him in advance that it was A Bad Idea (tm).   Somehow according to witnesses, I levitated up and over a table from the sitting position in a rapid manner, landed with both feet on his chest.   I have no memory of this.

Wanna drink soda? OK, but do it too much and lay around doing nothing and you'll be fat.  Wanna smoke?  Ok, but you increase the chance that you'll get cancer.  Wanna smoke marijuana? OK, but do it too much and if you aren't the self-motivated type already then you'll become even more apathetic, and may become addicted to the stuff.

I've never heard of weed being addictive. I have heard of plenty of other problems with it.

I was hoping that everybody would agree that BTP-type behavior is not yet morally justifiable, or desirable as a tactic.

MB, if anyone disagreed, would they be stupid enough to admit so in a public manner?

Agreement tends to depend on identification with the parties-blacks in America before the 60's lived under much more harsh and tyrannical oppression than the Boston Tea Partiers, but generally the equivalent acts have not been celebrated as victories on the road to liberty.

You mean, do I want to see people carrying out those sorts of protests against high taxes, or gun control, or whatever?  I don't know if the comparison really holds.  The two situations are much different, therefore the tactics should be different.  What would be an act of revolution in one situation would be regrettable lawlessness in another.

The same goes for "equivalent acts" by Black Americans in the segregation era.  If the American Revolutionaries had been in the same situation as Martin Luther King, they would today be a footnote in history, having been easily crushed, with only a trail of blood spilled in vain to mark them.
