How about we just fly the one-finger salute and keep on protesting the way we do.

This is sort of interesting though. I was reading one of the newer John Adams biographies a while back and this one had some particular detail about how he tried to get the Sons of Liberty to ratchet down a notch or two, especially after they started tarring and feathering tax collectors.

I don’t see any tar or feathers on any congressmen yet, so I think we’re doing fine.

Exactly right. Everything is relative. Well, this is at least.

That's what's behind all the stimuli money going to re-pave perfectly good roads: Dry up inventories of tar and macadam, so that when we are ready to tar them, there won't be any left.
