Thomas Paine - Common Sense (1776)

Common Sense by Thomas Paine

People form societies for the good of the people. People form governments to protect themselves from each other.

If a government doesn’t do that and only that, then I say, “Screw it!” And if the people themselves don’t make the laws of their land, then they’ll say, “Screw them!” That’s why America should tell the British, “Screw you!”

Human beings are born equal, and not meant to have some bastard king telling them what to do. (I’m pretty sure it says that in the Bible.)

The relationship between Great Britain and America is like that of a pimp and prostitute—for just like a sleazy, scummy, lowlife, cane holding, jewelry wearing, blood sucking, overtaxing, perm haired, hundreds counting pimp, they hardly do anything for us, they take money they don’t deserve, they force us to give them regular freebies, and they even slap us around every one in a while.

We’d be much better off simply prostituting—er, I mean, managing ourselves.

And we should do so by uniting the colonies and creating a representative democracy.

So let’s set up a Navy, declare our independence, and run those British @$#%s out of our country.
