Arrogance
Yes, it's a Chron editorial complaining about arrogance.
"What you have now is a tremendous distrust," [Rep. Ellen Tauscher] said in a telephone interview Thursday. "Something is going to blow. This is the type of absolutism that created the Boston Tea Party, where people felt they had no way to petition their government, that government would not listen."
One difference between this situation and America's time as British colonies is that the fact that America was British colonies actually mattered to some Americans. It becomes much tougher to "Boston Tea Party" when the "problem" just doesn't affect people.
