The  Boston Tea Party was a "revolt against transnational corporate 
domination of the early American economy?"  It didn't have anything to 
do with the taxation of the colonies by the British government without 
the consent of the colonists?  This is a novel view, to say the least 
and I think it is safe to say that this interpretation of the Tea Party 
would not have occurred to Gordon Wood.  Beyond that, I don't know how 
to break the news to you and Hartmann, but liberty and private 
ownership were indissolubly linked in the minds of the revolutionary 
generation.  It's always full speed ahead on the ARN paranoia highway.

In any event, I suppose your anti-corporation agenda means that you 
will not be inviting the Milton Friedman Choir to your New Year's Eve 
Party.

As ARN explores the neo-con agenda of privatization, not something 
exclusive to
the Bush administration, folk ought to become a little familiar with 
Thomas
Hartmann's book, Unequal Protection.  Hartmann's web address is
http://www.thomhartmann.com/. You can go directly to info about the 
book at
http://www.thomhartmann.com/unequalprotection/.  Here’s part of the 
intro at
Hartmann’s web page about the book: “In Unequal Protection, author Thom 
Hartmann
tells a compelling, can't-put-it-down story that tracks the history of 
the loss
of democracy in America. It starts with the birth of the modern 
corporation with
the founding of the East India Company in 1600, through the Boston Tea 
Party
revolt against transnational corporate domination of the early American 
economy,
the rise of corporations during the Civil War, the ultimate theft of 
human
rights before the Supreme Court in 1886, and into the modern-day theft 
of human
rights in the US and worldwide by corporate interests and the
politicians they own.”

Thanks.
