    This particular ebook has a few too many punctuation mistakes, but its content is still worthwhile to read; in other words, “Common Sense” makes sense.

  • Delightful Read

    This is an excellent book to read, to understand the mindset of U.S. patriots at the formative time in our nation. Paine uses Biblical wisdom and, of course, common sense, to make the case for rejection of the Monarchy and independence for the new Union.

    I realize importance of American being in this country and you were at the time shrugging off all the Tranny and the brutality of the European continent.

    To not have in this book as required reading in all school in the world is a tremendous error on all mankind. This moment I. Time = every moment I. Time when there is harm inflicted to a body of mankind. The world, a continent, a country, a state, a county, a city, a town, a household, a person. We are all equal and we are all one. We have to stand up, respect, and love one another and if that is threatened and violence is brought, then we unite to fight and defend for peace, equality, prosperity.

    This helps shed additional light on our nation’s independence and the necessity of our independence instead of being ruled.

    I’ve been reading common sense by Thomas pane, some men say that I’m intense or I’m insane. You want a review I want to sing hamalton so listen to my declaration. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. And when I meet Tomas Jefferson, I’m going to tell him to include WOMAN in the sequel. WORK
