Common Sense

Common sense is one of the most important elements of the argument ever written. Paine pamphleteer was the best of his age and managed to turn the discontent of the settlers, especially the intellectual leaders of the revolutionary movement in a controversy that was easily understood by ordinary settlers and inspired to rally to the cause of independence.

I first read Common Sense over fifty years, and remember the well-being impressed by Paine's ability to support arguments and anticipate those of his opponents before his plane even hit the streets. During my life I have been inspired by the writer and became a sort of pamphleteer myself. I always told my colleagues that I wanted to be a man of Tom Paine poor. But after reading the piece again, I realize that almost everyone who wants to follow in his footsteps, if not to fill his shoes, is doomed to be, but very bad copy of the original .

Other commentators have noted the fluidity of his writing, which is the most simple, direct and powerful today as it should have almost a quarter of a millennium. Obviously, it is necessary to be a great player to be influenced by the power of Paine's words was inspired by the side of those who want to get rid of the English yoke.

I was struck by the echoes of Paine in many large American speech was going through my mind as I read. A series of quotes from Robert F. Kennedy seems to have been directly inspired by common sense, and I looked at them and hope to offer these for consideration:

"It is not enough to understand or see clearly. The future will be shaped in the arena of human activity, some are willing to commit their minds and their bodies to the task."

"Each of us might wish at the time we live in a more quiet, but we did not. And if times are difficult and embarrassing, so it is difficult and full of opportunities."

The Declaration of Independence is in itself a direct descendant of this vast expanse. Jefferson and the other responsible for the preparation of the document were very aware of Paine and had the opportunity to evaluate their words and the methods used in the creation of our state, and not detract from his genius.
