“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom—go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!” – Samuel Adams
November is looking real good to me. Me and a few of my friends intend to crater the slavers.
The power to tax is the power to enslave.
For what are you willing to be a slave?
For what are you willing to enslave others?
For what are you willing to be a thief?
For what are you willing to accept stolen goods?

[…] This is the official beer of the Revolution. […]
Beer was THE drink, day and night, 24/7, for hundreds of years… bad-tasting water was the alternative, so people drank beer, and even beer soup in the morning…
Then came COFFEE, which people drank to make exciting plans with other revolting -sorry- revolutionary people…
Kings and dictators LIKED ‘their’ slaves (you and me) to drink beer… it helped keep us in our places…
Me? I wanna know: “What’s the official COFFEE of the revolution?”

I would say Jamaican Coffee. Or Martinique Coffee.
Java? In honor of our Dutch allies?

Karridine-indeed, I agree. Beer was the drug of choice. Kept the serfs happy. I’d nominate the Malaysian version of coffee, myself – or Cuban. Either could wake the dead (and make them re-think their votes.)
Sorry, Karridine, but the best Thai coffee I ever had…was Malaysian. Chok Dee and best wishes.

Kathy, Friends
I’m NOT going to quibble over a ‘best’ coffee… ‘De gustibus non est disputandum’
In the last few years Thailand has developed a pretty tasty coffee for local and export consumption; from the northern Chiang-Mai/Chiang-Rai, called Shao Doi
Me? I love a Blue Mountain/French Roast/Mocha Arabica mix, as it is one of the few coffees that I can drink with NO cream or sugar; full-bodied with no bitter afterbite (which, truth to tell, I enjoy a couple times a year), but I appreciate the Cuban-CostaRican varieties, Brazilian and Javanese…
Now, let’s lift a revolting cup to Dear Leader…
