I don't often have use for this word, but: poppycock. They were about as a part of England at the time as Kuwait was to Iraq. We were at war with England almost immediately afterwords!

Your history is terrible, sir. The Boston Tea party was a direct act of civil disobedience against english law. Specifically, the Tea Tax act which took effect on May 10, 1773. If the colonies were not under british control and law, the Tea Tax Act would not have been an issue, would it? The Tea Party was a definitive act of civil disobedience, performed by some of the founding fathers of the country.
It sounds like what they did was entirely unacceptable to you and many other posters on this board. Or, is there one standard for causes you agree with, and another for causes which you do not?

A facetious remark, I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Well, if your nun-burning remark was "facetious", then my remarks were just clever puns.
