It was nothing short of a political revolt, an act of resistance urging the masses to take action against the injustices under which they had suffered for far too long.<br \/>\nWe all recognize this scene as from the Boston Tea Party in 1773. But some Boston residents witnessed this demonstration just a week ago, and it wasn&#8217;t tea and taxes that was being protested against: it was bottled water.<br \/>\nActivists from the Think Outside the Bottle campaign performed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boston.com\/lifestyle\/green\/greenblog\/2009\/03\/a_watery_revolt_in_boston_harb_1.html\">this demonstration<\/a> to draw attention to United Nations World Water Day on March 22. More specifically, it was an effort to convince more people to drink tap water, rather than its comparatively overpriced and ecologically-irresponsible equivalent.<br \/>\nSo, America, rise up against your oppressors!
