The Simpsons are really two shows to me. The first 10 years, you'd be hard pressed to find anything funnier on TV. The second 10 years transitioned into this irrelevant garbage. They definitely recycle old storylines and it's become unwatchable. Bad writers are bad.frostybanana
although it was past its best, i think it was still ok until around season 14, and then season 15 it just became a completely different show
My own enjoyment...^.^ My,actual, point being that people tend to rise up in face of injsutice,and in the face of coming consequenses.people aren't as cautious as you seem to make them... I,also, wouldn't normally ,identify, with a civil uprising-but, Taxation w/o representation ranks as very severe(now and then)...And in that case-anger has a way of outweighing caution.grape_of_wrath
it wasn't actually very severe back then, when compared to other societies, and it was brought on by Britain's own constitutional progress, dating back to the English civil war, the glorious revolution and the English bill of rights. remember the colonists argued their rights as "englishmen" were infringed by taxation. The French taxed their own people without representation considerably, France was closer to a feudal society. If you actually look back on British policy in the colonies, it was extremely limited legislation, when compared to modern governments. to the point that it was only the educated and upper class that was really affected. this was Britain's mistake, they upset the people who actually held authority in the colonies
