| I listened to this book on an audio I found at
my local library. While listening to this book I imagine myself back in
the late 1700s. What were these people thinking, they have been
exploited by kings and queens for years. This book egged on the American
colonies to separate from their king.
It's hard to imagine we still let a few people control the masses. After
listening to Common Sense why are we still impressed by kings and queens
or even political leaders.
When do we question are masters, when will we stand up for our true
rights, when will we finally realize we are still surveying tyrants and
warlords.
Will true spirituality release the hold of power mongers on society.
When will people demands the truth from organized religion. What makes
one religion better than the other, a holy book, massive wealth, more
servants or more intelligent leaders that continue to convince their
servants of their own needs, to think the way they want them to.
