Observing the birthday of Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense which advocated the independence of the American Colonies.
Here is an incredible list of Famous Freethinkers that prove thinking outside the box is what has brought about inventions and innovations that have changed the world!
Here are some other pretty cool things that I came across to help you celebrate this rather interesting day -
- download this handy lesson plan - Freethinkers Day from ESL holidays
- Secular Seasons - has several links to other Thomas Paine related sites
- Movie-a-day - recommends the 1960s classic INHERIT THE WIND

Hi - Thanks for wanting to share your ideas & comments! I love hearing what others have to say, but just so that everyone is aware, I have the right and option to decide to post a comment or not. Foul language, inappropriate comments, lashing out at the world, or posting irrelevant ad links are a few reasons why posts may be rejected. My daughter & her friends like to frequently see what is being posted so therefore I would like to keep it clean.
I also have a tendency to reject "Anonymous" posts as I feel the content is not verifiable, therefore is often either irrelevant or not viable.
If your comment has been accepted - it will generally appear in less than 24 hours! Thanks Gina
