Common Sense by Thomas Paine
Thomas Paine urged revolution and immediately but what did he mean by that? Did he long for violence? I don’t think so. He longed for independence. Did the revolution turn out the way he imagined? Not at all. When he returned from France, he was arrested and derided for his free-thinking ways.

I’m currently reading “Organized Crime” by T DiLorenzo, “A Renegade History of the US” by T Russell (thanks to your excellent interview), and “Liberty.me” by none other – and they complement each other very well. Jeffrey, please consider writing a book about these intriguing historical dudes. Your amazing insights and wonderful humor would bring these characters to life. Thomas Paine is yet another I haven’t gotten to yet. So much to get caught up on.
Thanks for all your good work.
