We have strayed a long way from where the Founding Fathers once stood. I don't think they would have stopped throwing tea into the river because some bureaucrat told them not to. They probably would have dragged the bureaucrat from his office and covered him in tar and feathers. I imagine the politicians of that time period feared the average citizen a little more than they do today.

Exactly. They were denied permission to throw tea in the river, as the tea might discolor it.

What would you do?
