“A superior ma in dealing with the world is not for anything or against anything. He follows righteousness as the standard.” Confucius
“In the present circumstances, no one can afford to assume that someone else will solve their problems. Every individual has a responsibility to help guide our global family in the right direction. Good wishes are not sufficient; we must become actively engaged.” Dalai Lama
I personally like having a good cup of tea. Of course my tea generally comes from a box from Celestial Seasonings found on the web at http://www.celestialseasonings.com/ The company was just starting up in Denver while I was in school there. Tea can make a nice break from when I need something hot but am not in the mood for coffee or caffeine.
Today’s’ “tea bagging” parties crack me up. The original tea parties were to protest taxation without representation. For those people who paid attention in History class Americans did not feel that they should pay King George’s taxes since they were not consulted or represented in the legislative process. That is something the tea-baggers today forget about. They are represented and just because their candidate lost it doesn’t mean they are no longer represented in the legislature. The tax laws they are whining about were put on the books when their party was in power. The majority of Americans are getting a tax break. Gee I would love to be in the tax category where the extra tax break they have been having was going away. I could do a lot with $250,000.00.
The “tea-baggers” are not pro-labor. Ethical trade is also not in their vocabulary as they are get everything you can and run type of businessmen. Imagine their horror to find out that this is printed on boxes of tea-bags. From the Celestial Seasonings” site:
Ethical Trade: We’ve been working to establish sustainable harvests and fair wages for more than 30 years. By buying this product you’re supporting ethical trade practices that benefit the people and acres that produce our ingredients.
So enjoy a good cup of tea today and thank our forefathers who got us representation so that we have a voice in our taxes now. Heck we even have a choice in our government. We can enjoy our tea and support ethical trades and fair wages. But keep quiet about it you don’t want to ruin the tea-baggers day with the truth do you?
