Common Sense

I used my Father's day Amazon gift certificate to buy a copy of Glenn Beck's Common Sense, and it came today. I was pleased to see Thomas Paine's 1776 version included in the back of Beck's book, so you can compare the two works for style and content.

I think I'll spend Independence day comparing Paine's account of British tyranny with that of today, as recounted by Glenn Beck. After attending the tea party in the morning, I should be fired up to read the book.

I just started reading this and just the introduction resonated with me in a huge way.
