My favorite dense fact from what we discussed with our guest speaker, was the changing image of tea. Back during the revolutionary period of American history, tea was a luxury item handled with expensive wares. Now, tea does not carry the same connotation at all. No one makes time to take tea in the middle of the day anymore.
While the current political Tea Party alludes back to the "original principles" of the tea party, to the protest of dumping tea in Boston harbor they specialize in paranoia rather than freedom. The Tea Party does not like the progessive message that Barack Obama and the Democrats in charge have. For me, they appear to have a destructive agenda rather than a constructive plan to reform the political scene.
