Mind you, yes, people went revolution-like and heads-on-pikes before coffee and tea, <but> what coffee and tea gave was 1) tea- and coffee-houses, where people got together and exchanged ideas, sometimes dangerous ideas, like "Hey, what if this estates of the realm thing is bullshit?", "Hey, what if this designated-by-God authority thing is just bollocks?"; and 2) sobriety and energy to write about the ideas they got at 1) at length (oh, the lengths of writing) and disseminate it.
