"Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness Positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher." as quoted by Thomas Paine in Common Sense
Today is the date when Common Sense was first anonymously published 232 years ago (1776) in which he paid for the first printing and gained no money from publishing it ever as he donate the copyright to the states.
