i thought this an interesting piece from al jazeera about the contemporary u.s. of a.:

It's a plutocracy, stupid - Opinion - Al Jazeera English


there are problems of anarchronism and translation (flipsides of the same thing) that attend trying to make too direct a connection between the contemporary "tea party" neo-fascism and the 1773 boston event. this is a reasonably good resource on the latter:

Coming of the American Revolution

it helps disentangle the adamses for example. plus the webspace gives a pretty detailed intro along with some primary material of the sort that's always useful to look at when you're playing about with the past.
