AND IN AMERICA
a
war for a new type of freedom was inspired with a pen . . .

COMMON
SENSE,
and CRISIS 1
.
. . CRISIS 13 . . .
Thomas Paine, a man of "plain truth" and "common sense"
was with the army at Perth Amboy, NJ - then with General
Greene and Washington facing the advancing Royal troops
as the Americans backed across New Jersey from a
defeat in New York.
PAINE'S COMMON SENSE and CRISIS 1 inspired the citizens and the army to fight- on before our much needed victory at Trenton, NJ.
Later
Paine, in England, was
an
inspiration for those who set out to create a French republic as he wrote
"The
Rights of Man." When
he escaped capture by representatives of the British monarchy, he fled to
Calais, France where he was carried through the streets and was drafted
into the new revolutionary assembly in Paris.
He saw bloody religious turmoil in
France and wrote the "Age of Reason"
after painfully suffering in a Parisian prison, with little
support from representatives of President Washington's new government of
the UNITED STATES. Paine had spoken for exile for Louis
XVI, who had helped in our revolution, rather than for execution by the
guillotine of him and his wife, Marie Antoinette.
Paine was saved from execution by good luck or by Providence. Later
he was cared-for and restored to improved health by
Ambassador Monroe and his wife. Passionate revolutionary forces
eventually met failure by royal Austrian intervention and by excesses from revolutionary factions and
by the autocratic Napoleon.
Thomas Paine from Thetford, England was first introduced to America by Benjamin
Franklin.
Several of the founding fathers were Free Masons, who swore a belief in God, but did not openly confront religions. They and Paine also believed in "Nature's God" and the amazing beauty of creation. His way of praise was to study and emulate the Creator's wonders by efforts to be inventive and to do good toward all fellow human beings.
Paine's
roots were Quaker and The Church of England (Anglican). He believed in peace, but took up arms in
a humble role
to show dedication to his principles and the ideas advocated in his essential writings -
hoping to improve some human conditions on earth.
Thomas
Paine proposed
the abolition of Negro slavery,
in
African Slavery in America
(1775), and arbitrations for
international peace. He advocated justice for women
and emphasized
the reality of human brotherhood. He proposed the education of children of the poor at
public expense.
Paine
suggested a great republic of ALL NATIONS
of the
world. He urged the purchase of the great Louisiana Territory. He proposed OLD-AGE pension payments. He
suggested protection for dumb animals. And
he proposed international
Copyright. He invented an iron suspension bridge
and
a smokeless-candle.
He was
"of his time" and "way-ahead of his time." After 200 years, we have honored
him by adopting some of these sane propositions.
Today Thomas Paine is little noted nor
remembered. Morristown has one of about six statues in the
world honoring him. Napoleon had told him that many cities would
have golden statues of him, Paine.
One reason for being forgotten is that he spoke-out before the year 1800 against what he saw as a trend in America away from a DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLIC toward a REPUBLIC with potential for Monarchy.
Paine was in favor of many of Thomas Jefferson's ideas. He has been ignored to this day, mostly because he spoke out against superstition in most organized religions of that age - by his writing of The Age of Reason (in two parts) ... Other founding fathers held similar beliefs, but were cautious enough to not confront the already diverse organized religions and their followers.
Q U O T E S
ABOUT T O M P A I N E
FROM OUR FOUNDING FATHERS :
His name
is Paine, a gentleman about two years from England--
a man who, General Lee
says, has genius in his eyes.
-- John Adams, 1776
There is no need to eulogize Thomas Paine. "His life-long devotion to the cause of freedom and his deep-seated hatred of despotism are his best eulogies."
No writer has
exceeded Paine in ease and familiarity of style, in perspicuity of
expression, happiness of elucidation, and in simple and unassuming
language. --
Thomas
Jefferson, 1821
Other quotes
about Paine as shown on the base of the statue in Morristown, NJ
:
"BE ASSURED MY DEAR FRIEND THAT INSTEAD OF REPENTING THAT I WAS YOUR INTRODUCER IN AMERICA I VALUE MYSELF ON THE SHARE I HAD IN PROCURING FOR IT THE ACQUISITION OF SO USEFUL AND VALUABLE CITIZEN" Benjamin Franklin
"YOUR PRESENCE MAY REMIND CONGRESS (AND THE PEOPLE) OF YOUR PAST SERVICES TO THIS COUNTRY." George Washington
"FREE AMERICA WITHOUT HER THOMAS PAINE IS UNTHINKABLE." La Fayette
"THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES CANNOT LOOK BACK UPON THE TIME OF THEIR OWN REVOLUTION WITHOUT RECOLLECTING AMONG THE NAMES OF THEIR MOST DISTINGUISHED PATRIOTS THAT OF THOMAS PAINE." James Monroe
"HISTORY IS TO ASCRIBE THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION TO THOMAS PAINE." John Adams
"AMERICA IS INDEBTED TO FEW CHARACTERS MORE THAN YOU." General Nathaniel Green
"WASHINGTON'S SWORD WOULD HAVE BEEN WIELDED IN VAIN HAD IT NOT BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE PEN OF PAINE." James Monroe
Q U O T E S F R O M T H O M A S P A I N E:
as shown on the base of the statue in Morristown, NJ
THOSE WHO EXPECT TO REAP THE BLESSINGS OF FREEDOMS MUST LIKE MEN UNDERGO THE FATIGUES OF SUPPORTING IT.
INDEPENDENCE IS MY HAPPINESS AND I VIEW THINGS AS THEY ARE WITHOUT REGARD TO PLACE OR PERSON - MY COUNTRY IS THE WORLD - AND MY RELIGION IS TO DO GOOD.
IT IS FOLLY TO ARGUE AGAINST DETERMINED HARDNESS ELOQUENCE MAY STRIKE THE EAR - AND THE LANGUAGE OF SORROW DRAW FORTH THE TEAR OF COMPASSION BUT NOTHING CAN REACH THE HEART THAT IS STEELED IN PREJUDICE.
WE FIGHT NOT TO ENSLAVE BUT TO SET A COUNTRY FREE AND TO MAKE ROOM UPON EARTH FOR HONEST MEN TO LIVE IN.
IT IS AN AFFRONT TO TRUTH TO TREAT FALSEHOOD WITH COMPLAISANCE.
Thomas
Paine's ideas are in the :
The
Declaration of
Independence <=
The Amended Constitution
<=
George
Mason: "Father of our Bill of Rights."
<==
Thomas
Paine, a deist,
relying on REASON in that age of enlightenment and religious turmoil,
may
NOT have completely understood that most families of humans, all races through the ages, have such
trials in life
that they will
seek HOPE and LOVE and "TRUTH" - based upon REASON a n d
"FAITH"
often TAUGHT from writings as "REVEALED-TRUTH" from the
Creator. If we are not too busy,
we can take time to observe
the wonders of our part of the universe and of our amazing existence.
================================
My wife and I were going north to Morristown
along a road near MOUNT KEMBLE.
We met a very thin and sad looking soldier.
Lois Elizabeth Collins wearing her MorristownThisWeek.com hat.
Tom is carrying his similar hat, and he is wearing his MorristownS.com web hat!The patriotic soldier had been foraging for food and seemed lost. We told him that he was about
half a mile from the JERSEY BRIGADE and about two miles from JOCKEY HOLLOW,
where most of the soldiers were encamped.We were on our five mile trek to the Ford Mansion where Washington was scheduled to greet young La Fayette, who was delivering possible good news of much needed help to come from FRANCE!
We were so happy that we treated the soldier to a delicious meal.
We bid the soldier farewell! And then we were on our way!

When the MARQUIS de LA FAYETTE was a 2 year old (1759), his father was killed in warfare
with England and allies at the Battle of Minden, Westphalia, Prussia.
When the young La Fayette was a 13 year old, his mother died. Also, in that same year,
his wealthy grandfather died (1770).
Even at an early age, he must have desired some revenge for his father's death. He passionately
devoted his wife's fortune and his fortune, his life and "his sacred honor" to opposition to arrogant
men - and to actions toward "a better world"! Here, he would fight the English and the Hessians
hired by the English.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescue 2
- tropical
storm Gilda
with massive flooding - 1954 in HONDURAS -
USS MONTEREY.
President
Ford served on the USS Monterey in WWII; it was set on fire
during Typhoon Cobra south of Japan in 1944 with heavy
loss of men and airplanes.
Other
ships in that fleet later saw similar chaos during Typhoon Viper.
On January 3, 1951, the USS Monterey began her Korean War duties at Naval Training Command, Pensacola, FL, where she trained most of the naval and marine aviator cadets in their first three trainer-plane landings and a second-three fighter-plane or torpedo-plane landings. These pilots saw heavy action over Korea until 1953.
At Pensacola, the Monterey had set a record of landings in one day (about 477) on an aircraft carrier.
In late
September, under Captain E. E. Fickling, the Monterey rushed to
Honduras with helicopters and medicine
to take part in
flood
rescue mission between October 1 and 11, 1954.
Tropical Storm Gilda
had
formed in the Central Caribbean Sea on September 24, 1954. It moved
westward, reaching a peak of 70 mph winds before hitting British
Honduras (Belize) on the 27th of September. Gilda caused very heavy
rains
and flooding and 29 deaths. The extensive flooding trapped
many in northern Honduras.
In
early October 1954 the
USS
Monterey arrived at Puerto Cortez, Honduras from Pensacola, Florida.
We had
aboard extra medical crews and helicopters to carry medical
supplies. From Puerto Cortez, the helicopters flew above
the
flooded regions and crew members pulled stranded persons from rooftops.
The crews delivered much needed
medicine to fight cholera in the regions
between the towns of Puerto Cortez and San Pedro Sula.
A SALUTE TO
THE US NAVY AND THE HISTORY OF RESCUE OPERATIONS.
In 1998 in Honduras,
Hurricane Mitch
caused near total destruction of much of Central America. Rains
from it killed about 9,500 persons
and would soon cost about a
billion dollars toward rescue and restoration. I am happy
that, in 1998, North Americans were involved in
helping each
injured-economy and peoples of that region, as we had in 1954.
