I prefer Chai (black tea from India) and I order it when I go to Starbucks most of the time. But I had a feeling this would happen someday. In order to counter the libertarian-conservative Tea Party political movement, there is now a progressive Coffee Party movement. If history is an indicator, if you remember, after the actual Boston tea party in the 18th century, coffee became the breakfast drink of choice for US Americans. I am not going to take sides. I am actually happy that there is grassroots organizing happening all over the country. This means that people are becoming more invested in the national politics. I care more about maximum participation in government, and not ideology. I only hope that both movements become and remain both ideologically and racially diverse, including all members of society. In fact, I hope that there are more political rights movements and political activism in the USA, with a fully engaged citizenry. It is all about participation, and not just voting.
Maybe I will start my own Chai Party movement. Speaking of chai, I had been wondering where to find Fair Trade tea in Fort Worth, Texas, and I just googled it.

Thank you Rod, youre the kind of person we hope to meet in this movement.
Truth and peace to you as well,
Randy
No problem, Randy.
Sorry … nothing makes me give up my iced tea.
However, I could be talked into joining the Hot Chocolate Movement.
Hot chocolate movement!
Classic!
rod,
if you get some of the liquid chai that you have to steam with milk, i just might sign up for the chai party. or i could stop by as an conscientious objector and simply sample the goods!
Ummmmmmmmm sounds good, Mike!
