User:CommonSense101



Welcome to my userpage. I am CommonSense101.

My username refers to Thomas Paine's Common Sense, a widely circulated pamphlet which inspired American patriots during the American Revolution.

I plan to focus on political and historical articles. It is my firm belief that Americans do not know enough about their own history, and I hope to change that by providing even more information about American history.

If you would like to leave any messages or comments concerning articles, edits, or anything else regarding wikipedia, feel free to write on my discussion page. I'll be more than happy to address praise, criticism, or just general comments. I will use userboxes and quotes to sum up my existence since both of those are far more interesting than normal, boring words.
