I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this essay, but it was a pleasure to read on a chilly Saturday morning! Wonderful tribute to Thomas Paine. I’m always amazed how often he gets overlooked, even now.
Thanks so much, Chris. When someone likes it, I keep responding the same way: I'm glad you liked it, and I had a blast writing it. Hopefully that came through in the prose.
When I was applying to become a teacher out of college, they required me to do a mini lesson on a topic of my choice. I chose Paine and Common Sense. I’m not sure how great the lesson was in retrospect, but I got the job!
