  to connect the rise of coffee in the west to 'reasonable political debate', 
  newspapers, and the bourgeois revolutions has become a standard exercise of 
  social history. for an early formulation with a philosophical background see 
  the only good book by habermas, "the structural change of the public sphere", 
  § 5-8, from the early 1960s. personally, i drink my coffee really strong, yet 
  sandwiched with lots of milk.

kai frederik //:: ps: a footnote on drug wars - when coffee came up, there were 
                some european territories where coffee drinking was punished    
               with death.
