It Occurred to Me Yesterday....

.... that on April 19th, 1775, the Redcoats set out to search houses in Middlesex County and they got met by gunfire. On April 19th, 2013, the Boston cops were searching houses in Middlesex County and got met with applause.

Yes, I know, the circumstances were different. But the principle fact is that when the authorities in both cases thought it was a good idea to just go search people's homes and outbuildings, they just did it.

(Or, 238 years ago, they tried to.)
