Why do places with the letter B always have violence in them?

                Today in Western Civilization we continued our PowerPoint on the early colonies of America that were under control of Britain. After reviewing the slide on the proclamation of 1763, we moved on to other proclamations that the king made. There was the Sugar Act, which taxed sugar imports to the colonies. The Stamp Act, which made it so colonists had to buy stamps for all printed materials, and using British currency, not what was being printed in the colonies. This was for all printed materials from England, including cards (I was thinking, how does that work? Did you have to stamp each card? And did you have to put it on the front of the card, or the back?). The Quartering Act, which made it so colonists would have to provide quarters for British soldiers in their own houses, regardless of whether they wanted to or could. The Townsend Act was another taxing act, taxing paper, glass, paint, and tea imports. The colonists were starting to get fed-up with how the British were treating them, but they had no representatives in England and could not send someone to fix the problem. However, they could do stuff back home, such as boycotting British products, refusing to pay taxes, and forming protest groups (such as the Sons of Liberty). After that we started a video about the Boston homicide (Oh, sorry, massacre). We had a discussion after that mostly because Angela (forever my polar opposite) thought it was totally unjustified that the British shot the Bostonians. Understanding more than most because I’ve read certain books (like the one about Audie Murphy, I forget the name), I know that under times of extreme duress human minds have a tendency to do really stupid things because of the stress, unless you’re a battle hardened veteran or something. It was kind of interesting to see Angela’s reactions to what we were talking about because she is a liberal and strongly supports the black lives matter movement against police officers and most likely supports gun control. This situation is comparable to the situations we face today, however the police officers are more justified than the British troops. One thing that I did realize while writing this blog is that while Angela supports gun control, she is proven to have no concept of how a group of people with weapons/firearms (I say this because of the bayonets) can out-fight a larger group without guns. I just kind of found that interesting and wanted to point it out to you Mr. Schick.
