When I'm thinking back, I'll remember

On the drive to work today, I spied my first Washington, D.C. license plate. At the bottom of the plate, where a state motto or slogan might be found, were the words "TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION".

Does that seem odd at all? It certainly did to me. I thought that was the entire problem that resulted in this being a country instead of a colony. It doesn't seem like the sort of thing to brag about.

Or maybe the word "NO" was there, but covered up or otherwise obscured.

biscuits, revolution, scones, tea, bad tourism campaigns
