"Protesting by stealing and destroying private property is despicable"?

-the British government in response to the Boston Tea Party.

Update:

"The bible said the very same thing in many different ways for one "love thine enemies and you will heap coals of fire on their heads""

And yet America, a nation whose population is 90% Christian, has the world's most powerful military war machine- outspending the next top 25+ nations COMBINED. So much for loving thine enemies.

    It undermines your cause...these hippies don't listen to John Lennin he said "violence is what they want you to do because they know how to deal with that, but what they don't know how to deal with is peaceful demonstrations" The bible said the very same thing in many different ways for one "love thine enemies and you will heap coals of fire on their heads"

    YEP - Even 'Americans' back then did what it took to get their freedom. If only today's Tea Party had the interests of America in their portfolio !!
