CommonSenS models the principles set down by Thomas Paine, English/American (1737-1809) in order to apply them to today's times. They spring from his essay Common Sense, written, published, and distributed in large numbers in the British Colonies, in 1776. He was encouraged and mentored by Benjamin Franklin, who spoon-fed Paine information from England, information that moved him to set down the definitive rationale for American Independence. He explores the social contract and those inalienable rights you always hear about -- individual freedom.
We look to be a forum for smart discussion of important issues, as approached from different viewpoints. The intention is to allow the gracious space necessary to agree to disagree. Discussing first, and then working towards commonly beneficial answers and spun-off actions, We is YOU.
