This is a very personal story of a greatly misunderstood man, Thomas Paine’s COMMON SENSE sparked the American Revolution, “Rights of Man” defined the French, and “The Age of Reason” embraced Enlightenment. He believed “one must always speak the truth as one sees it, no matter the consequences." He was nearly hanged and guillotined for it. He still said that we could begin the world over again!
