Talk:Boston Tea Party
Howdy,
I noticed that you and I seem to post in one or two articles dealing with progressive issues in political science/sociology.
There's currently a debate beginning in Boston Tea Party as to whether the article should include the category . It meets definitions set in the articles Terrorism and Definition of terrorism, however, there are several self-proclaimed patriots who watch BTP who refuse to recognise the fact.
The simple criteria for terrorism generally seem to be intimidation or destruction of property in order to change public policy or public opinion while a state of war has not yet been declared. Some users would rather use recent acts of terrorism as a yardstick, rather than using a firm definition, and hence lose their ability to discuss matters calmly.
Would you be able to pop in to the Talk page and join in the discussion?
Thanks much,
