Tea for Two, and Two for Tea*

Did you know that the 237th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party is coming up on December 16th? That's right. On December 16, 1773, a group of protestors tossed three shiploads of tea into Boston Harbor in Massachusetts. They were upset that the East India Company required them to receive unwanted taxed shipments of tea from Britain.
