It‘s almost midnight. Going to clear my head with a a little Langston Hughes poetry before bed.
pickI have finally read this important document that reasoned with colonists to break away from the tyranny of a British king. He used Scriptures and history and just plain common sense to support his claim. I don't understand why I have never been asked to read it, but I thank @Librarybelle for the push. It is very readable and it is still relevant after 250 years.
...and that the elected might never form to themselves an interest separate from the electors,...

Good July 4th thoughts, I think. ❤️🩹

Morning coffee and a book. #porchlife #coffeeandbooks #CommonSense #July4th #independence

My son sent the above link to me re: Common Sense
Vladimir & I are ready! I suspect I‘ll read parts throughout the day & let them simmer. I think it‘s remarkable that nearly 250 years after its publication Paine‘s words still resonate. For me, I‘m hoping this read helps me reflect on history & the current political dynamic.
Paine, a man with no prospects, helped ignite the colonies with this work. Anyone can be a hero.
What do you hope to learn/gain from today‘s reading?
