May Day protests turn violent in downtown Seattle

No, they destroyed tea that had been shipped by Britain, as the colonies weren't allowed to purchase tea from anyone else. Moreover, the tea was taxed, hence, taxation without representation.

The American revolution bears no resemblance to the hooligans tearing up property in Seattle.

and they're not "OWS". They're self declared "anarchists." They could be considered the extreme end of the small government conservatives.

I for one am glad they dumped that tewa in the bay. I hate the taste of tea.

Coffee became the drink of America, as well as it should be. ;)
 
At this point I don't think any of these protests have anything to do with OWS.

The OWS movement is being used as a cover to smash and steal whatever these people want.

And because the OWS protesters are rather inarticulate and unclear in what they hope to achieve then it naturally follows that this lack of clarity means they can and will be easily duped. Their puppet masters are far more clever than they,

If they want to reform Wall Street they can express their concerns to their elected representatives or make it an issue in the upcoming presidential elections, but I think we all know this would be beyond their ability or imagination. They should be pitied as much as censured.
