    Addressed to all inhabitants of the world. #ThomasPaine
    On One of the Darkest Day in the History of Ourkin On One of the Darkest Day in the History of Ourkind and the Long Darkness That Followed: It wasn’t just the scale of death. More people have died in other events. Natural disasters, wars, genocides, pandemics have all killed more. But there’s a difference when it happens all at once, out of nowhere, when the cause is done by humans, and the crime is witnessed by the world. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were atrocities at a far greater scale, targeting civilians, but also, they occurred during a war between nations, to end a war. This was different. A common misconception is that 9/11 was an attack on America, when it was an attack on all of ourkind. People from over 90 countries died that day. Business from all over the world worked out of the Twin Towers. They wanted to attack America, but it was an attack on the world. They sent their people to die. They knew this attack would bring more strife to the Muslim world. They only acted out of suicidal insanity, to bring death for themselves, the people they claimed to support, and to the rest of the world. Nearly 3000 people died that day. Only 19 of them had any idea of what was coming. The rest were simply going about their Tuesday morning. Continues at fb.com/TomPaineToday

    Thomas Paine died on June 8, 1809 in New York City Thomas Paine died on June 8, 1809 in New York City. In his 72 years of life, he did much good. He lives on through his writings.
    “It is from numberless diverse acts of courage a “It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” —Robert F Kennedy, June 6, 1966
