So I was watching this history documentary of Great Britain. They got to discussing the Boston Tea Party and frankly, atleast from the way it was presented there, those Boston people were a real cantankerous bunch. If what was aired is true, all taxes were repealed (as per their protests) and the only think that was left was one tax on tea-- but they'll be damned to let the British have this one! Instead let's storm the ship and toss out the entire cargo of tea (that traveled untold months and miles) into the ocean! like... helloooo.
That coupled with a general modern-day stereotype of bostoners being rude made me consider more seriously the above notrikon.
