ENGLAND, IT'S TIME TO PARTY!!!!!

Come on England...Party like it's 1773!

Every American school child learns the story of "The Boston Tea Party." Y'all remember that when some of the American colonists got finally fed up with taxes, The Sons of Liberty had a big old party and off-loaded a bunch of tea into Boston Harbor, helping to spark The American Revolution. (Don't you know those eco-nuts were some upset!)

But the story is a lot more complicated than that. The frustrations were more about continual manipulation of the Colonial economy by the British Parliament. The tea tax controversy was just the camel that broke the straw.

Well England...It's time for y'all to break out the war paint, put on some feathers, and demand that your government quit screwing around with you...before it's too late.
